Thanks, it might be the graphics that grabs the attention.
To answer your last question before your first;
In Hinduism, the sacred syllable representing Brahman or God, and the source of all existence, is Om. The correct term is AUM, however it is customary to only use the lesser, interchangeable term, Om, if you are not placing the correct intent, attention and reverence with its use. OM is a Sanskrit mantra said to be responsible for bringing our universe – more accurately, existence – into being and sustaining it. Within it are the the three ‘Guanas’ (qualities) found within the cosmic vibration of creation and existence, where: A represents creation (God Brahma), U represents preservation (God Vishnu), and M represents transmutation (God Siva).
Roughly, OM can be thought of as the vibration of creation, preservation and transmutation (not destruction as often thought). If you can see a possible connection to string theory in that blurb, then you will know some of the scenery within the book.
I'm communicating with larger bookstore chains currently. The ISBNs all link to the publishers, so books can be ordered through any bookstore at anytime. What I'm aiming to do is hold local stock (done) and then supply direct to bookstores (yet to do) dropping the lead time from 4 weeks to 3 days. This of course takes time to achieve.
In the interim, books can be bought direct through StillPoint Publications (PM me for contact details) and shipped nationally within 3 working days.
