DEVELOPMENT DIGEST

newsletters, books, magazines and the Internet, put together because of
their relevance
and public importance.
BUILD A DOCUMENTATION
CENTRE OF YOUR OWN!
In the development digest, each article is independent and they are
separately folded.
The independent articles in one issue are loosely bound so
that
you can carry each
article around... read it when convenient.
The articles also come pre-punched, with distinct subject classifications, so you can file articles from one subject together over a period of time. Voila! You have your own documentation centre !
OTHER CED DOCUMENTATION like DOCPRINTS & MIRROR ON COMMUNALISM are being brought out in this same form. i.e., book size, article oriented, pre-punched. This will also add to your documentation effort.
