Bibliography Normally a general-audience work like this is not accompanied by a detailed bibliography of other publications consulted in its preparation. However, for those readers who wish to discover Sri Lanka in more depth, the following annotated bibliography may be of some help. Many titles are printed in small quantities by Sri Lankan private or government presses and are unlikely to be available outside of the country. Some of the titles listed below are out of print but can be found in municipal libraries, used bookstores, and occasionally on the back shelves of contemporary bookstores. In the case of publishers unlikely to be listed in Books in Print and other references, I have appended the mailing address of the publisher to the citation; in the case where the same publisher produces many works listed herein (e.g., the Department of Cultural Affairs in Colombo), the address is listed after the first citation only. The prices for locally produced Sri Lankan books can be astonishingly low — ten rupees (25 cents) for the Department of Cultural Affairs booklets being a case in point. And most are in letterpress! Readers who have trouble finding the volumes cited below may wish to contact Mrs. Veena De Silva of KGB's Bookstore, 86 D.S. Senanayake Vidiya, Kandy She is one of Sri Lanka's most knowledgeable people on where to order or locate difficult to find books. The reference section of the British Council libraries in Colombo and Kandy have many out of print reference books, but you must become a member to have access to them. The fee as of this writing was Rs. 175, or $4.40.
