I am looking for the books named 'Maharaja' and 'Maharani' written by Late Gamany Das, Ex. Dewan of Patiala State who died in August 1971. In fact I don't know the name of the publisher who had published these two hot selling books. Can any body help me to pass on any information regarding these books.  Photo copy of these books will serve the purpose. These two books were hot selling books during 90's. In 1994 both the books were translated in to Odiya language by publisher M/S J. Mohapatra & Co., Kaligali, Cuttack of my state Odisha titled 'Maharaja' in a single volume. The same publisher did not printed any subsequent edition. With regrads.
