Dear Mandar


As you are aware i am not in control of this situation as i no longer
have rights over this book. in my email dated 8 april i clearly advised
you not to move until you received a confirmation or an advance.Do not
send your design to them to protect your creativity from being copied
until you are paid.
As i said earlier i would like very much for you to design some posters
for me for the book which i will be happy to pay for if it is cost
effective as i am paying for them. i need 2 or 3 of them with my
pictures on them. and an inlay of the book cover. I believe in your
talent and think you will go very far. that is why cover or no cover I
chose you to design my web site and would like you to design my posters
which are to be put up everywhere.it will be terrific publicity for you
as the launch is being attended by bollywood, theatre, corporate and
sports celebrities at three flights up.
how much do you think three posters of 14 inches by 18 will cost-glossy
or matt? they must have large pictures of me in the center-negatives
which i have.let me know what harper collins reply to you is. I think
your charges are far to high for them but i think they are considering
them.
cheers
