Any suggestions for compiling a list of Nepali literary books (fiction, non-fiction and poetry books in Nepali language) published between January 1, 2001 and December 31, 2002?
What organization in Nepal would have this list? Sajha Pustak Bhandar? Academy?
If you know of any Nepali literary book published during this period, please post its title, author's name along with publication year in this thread.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions.
