Excuse me

First of all, soft-copies of all the books and documents in this archive have been stored for non-commercial purposes. Granth Network is a completely non-commercial and non-profit organization. Soft-copies of all its books and documents have been stored for study and research purposes only. No commercial production and reproduction books are networked or encouraged or employed or invested by anyone else.

​

Although books have a market value and book publishers, authors and sellers face difficulties in scanning and distributing books for free, we believe that the more knowledge that is available, the better for everyone.

​

Even if we scan the book, we think that the authors and publishers of the book will not suffer much for three reasons -

​

• Keeping books in the collection is a very old human practice. It is also a matter of taste. Those who keep books in the collection do not wait for the scanned book. In the meanwhile, scanning will probably make those who are not in the habit of reading books a little more enthusiastic.

• Just as books are read in a general library, but books are not sold or commercially reproduced, so is the book network only for reading, and book sales or commercial reproduction are by no means the purpose of the book network. Just as a book can be read in a general library but the book can not be brought with it and can not be used for commercial purposes, in the same way books can be read in the online library of the book network but can not be commercially produced by downloading the book. If anyone does that, the book network will not be responsible in any way.

• When uploading books of Bangladeshi authors on this site, permission of the concerned author is taken. Moreover, books by Bangladeshi authors for which it is not possible to obtain permission to publish are open for "online reading" only, that is, these books can only be read, downloaded and shared. This protects the book from potential commercial reproduction. Thus, the main purpose of the book network is to create reading opportunities without compromising the copyright of the author.

​

We think, let's spread free books to people all over the country, spread the light of knowledge everywhere and all the excellent books in Bengali language should be stored on the internet. It is our desire that the books we need for our study and research be made easily and freely available to students and researchers at all levels. We want all the knowledge of the world to be open to all.

​

No advertising is promoted on our site. This is a completely non-profit organization, in addition, we bear all the costs of this site and also accept any financial help or book help.

We think that it is not possible to meet the demand for books on paper just by scanning. Because, electronic books can not be an alternative to books on paper. True books are what we need to read. However, there may be times when a particular part of a particular textbook is needed. At such times these electronic textbooks can come in handy. We usually photocopy the necessary parts from various textbooks. These e-books can be helpful in times of need.

Even then, if a publisher or author has an objection, his / her book must be removed from the site subject to the objection.

Book Network is interested in publishing books by new authors. New writers can open their books on our site if they want. For this send your book by mail to grontho.com@gmail.com. You must also send the cover photo of the book.

The Book Network is a non-profit organization. That is, books are not sold here. Rather, the site is run by individuals. We want more help with books and authorship than financial help.

The Book Network is expressing solidarity with the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto. The Bengali translation of the Guerrilla Open Access Manifesto is attached below.
