Thanks once again Ashwin,
I have been considering to release the books officially, but
unfortunately,
PDF conversion is not working with Gujarati. The bug is filed a while
ago,
and I have been told that it may get quite a long time to fix the issue.
Without having capability of exporting the page as PDF or preparing a
book,
I won't really feel to rush for the book release.
Regards,
Dhaval

Hi Dhaval,
That is really very good to hear. We must maintain the highest
standards in all things WikiSource. Unlike Wikipedia, errors cannot be
allowed to co-exist. Well done to all Gujarati Wiki-Source-ians. Keep
yup your great work.
I request that this book may be please be got "officially" released to
gain publicity and attention to Gujarati WikiSource & the community.
