I am an old "fan" of BCT and I like this idea very much. I just wonder if
a portion of the contribution shouldn't go to the author directly. This
would be in addition to the charity "tax". If Sri KaaLipaTnam has no
wish to receive money for the copies, he always has the option of donating
it himself.
