Room Conversation -- July 19, 1977, Vrndavana:

Prabhupāda: Gargamuni is getting many, what is called, standing orders for Hindi books.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: He's just started. But there's very good scope.

Prabhupāda: Hmm. Very good scope. You see . . . Just always remember that Gita Press, third-class printing and fourth-class subject it is, and they were maintaining seventy-five big machines. Seventy-five in Gorakhpur. And Pitagar(?) paper against. Still, they could not supply. There is so much scope for Hindi books.

Yaśomatīnandana: The only thing is, the people tell me Gita Press things was very cheap.

Prabhupāda: Therefore I say, third-class printing, fourth-class paper. And if we give first-class paper, first-class printing, there is scope.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Śrīla Prabhupāda, if we give these books for fifteen rupees . . .

Prabhupāda: Whatever you give, they'll purchase.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Yes. It's very cheap.

Prabhupāda: The Hindi-speaking people, they are not poor. Mass of people may be poor, but we want to approach respectable persons. They are not poor. They will pay. Why third-class printing, fourth-class matter? Our first-class matter, first-class printing. We have got better scope than Gita Press.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Oh, yes.

Prabhupāda: Don't take less important this Hindi publication. You stock. I shall take charge of selling books.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Actually we are now also selling a lot. We are getting these distributors who are very interested.

Prabhupāda: Therefore I want stock.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: Prabhupāda wants a big stock.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: We have a stock of all the books.

Tamāla Kṛṣṇa: No, but printing three thousand is not a big stock.

Prabhupāda: Why not print ten thousand of each?

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: If we print ten thousand of each every month . . . Because now we are producing one book per month . . .

Prabhupāda: There is no "if." Print.

Gopāla Kṛṣṇa: Okay.

Yaśomatīnandana: We don't have money now.
