While the prices seem quite low, I can relate that when I ordered the
books they came at the price advertised. Ranganayakamma is a
post-Naxalite Marxist feminist who lives in Hyderabad.  Prior to her
studies of Capital, she was a well-known and prolific novelist in Telugu
India. Her biography can be accessed at:

Some quotes from Madhusudan Pal's review of An Introduction to Marx's
'Capital':
"?a great creation?more than an Introduction? a smooth journey from
easy-to-follow steps? do-yourself Q-A session at the end of each
chapter? indeed a marvelous set of three gems under a very small price
tag?. in vernacular for popular consumption? a superb piece of smooth
reading?. Every Marxist, whether individual or institution, should
possess this set."
FRONTIER, March 12-18, 2000, pp: 10-11

B.R.Bapuji, among others, translated Ranganayakamma's writings from
Telugu into English.  They worked together on the recent article in the
leftist weekly journal FRONTIER from Kolkatta (Calcutta, the capital of
West Bengal): "Capitalism With Chinese Characteristics".  FRONTIER
published "Capitalism With Chinese Characteristics", a detailed history
and analysis of the transition of Red China into a bourgeois state, in
three issues serially, with the last appearing February 22-28, 2004.
