Publisher's Synopsis
If you are an artifact lover then this Book is exactly what you are looking for. An exclusively crafted collector's item, this Tamil book is more than just appearance. It is a close transcription of sacred texts, written down to match the original scriptio continua format you find in ancient manuscripts.
In this modern world where artifacts are losing value, Mount is here to provide you with a glimpse into the past, to make you feel as close to the source as possible. And although this book shouldn't be considered a "replica" or necessarily a scholarly resource, we have gone to great lengths to tune its design to the highest quality and the richest imaginations. This text is an item to have for any hobbyist, researcher, scientist, or avid common reader, whether just for decorating a coffee table, or for pursuing with intrigue like a curious puzzle.
This book is a Tamil book, written in Tamil script, from the Conception Series. Others in this series are written in different languages using different scripts. Collect them all and you will be immersed into the experience like an ancient sage or learned scribe from throughout the ages.
This book is made up entirely of the following public domain texts, a hint to get you going:
⬩ The Ainkurunuru (ஐங்குறுநூறு), The 500 Short Poems.
⬩ The Purananuru (புறநானூறு), The 400 External Poems.
⬩ The Kuruntokai (குறுந்தொகை), The Short Collection.

The texts we have included in this book are, for one reason or another, the result of a long-term dedicated effort of hunting down and finding the best sources on the planet. Much work remains to be done, but for now we have at least preserved these valuable assets in beautiful matte-white hardbound volumes with thick 70lb paper. Thank you for taking the time and stopping by. We are Mount.
