Just by chance I happened to see a book titled 'The Grammar of Carnatic Music' by K. G. Vijayakrishnan at amazon.com. First the title caught my intrigue and then the price: $137.20

Amazon says it is not yet released.

Has any of you heard about this book or the author?

As a vainikan, his baani is that of Dhanammal.His mother,Karpakavalli was a disciple of Ranagaramanuja Iyengar, who was a student of Veena Dhanammal herself.

This particular book,which hasn?t been released,should be a good one,but the price is too high.
