Friends, you know one of my most favourite books was eaten up by rats. A man, who deals in old books, had reassured me to get a copy of the same book.
Today he called me and told the he couldn't find the book anywhere. He told me he had tried everywhere , but the book was unavailable.
I feel I've lost the book forever

I wonder if there is any chance you might find it online? I know it's not the same as having a physical copy of the book, but there are a lot of online archives where rare old books can be preserved for everyone to enjoy, and they are free.

Thank you. I searched Amazon. The book is not available there. I looked for it in some stores where old books are available. But it is unavailable there. The book is in Hindi. I don't know any other platform where this book might be available. Would you please suggest me how I can get it??

@Shivram59 can you write the name in English? Both the Hindi name in English script, and also the English translation of the name. I'll check for you. Also, I guess we can't post links here, so I'll send you a screenshot, in case you might want to actually buy the book. I got 48 results from this search.

Thanks, my friend. I had been very busy these days and could not respond to your posts. From tomorrow I'll .
I'll not give up looking for it. My friend tried his best, but didn't find it. I've started trying again

Thank you, my friend..
To be honest, I'm feeling dejected The book was purchased by my father around sixty years ago. I happened to find it a few years back. I read it and thereafter read it many times. Every time I read it, I felt I was reading it for the first time.
I'll keep searching for it.
Thank you once again, my friend
