Tightening Noose of Poverty Masood Rezvi

The book "Tightening Noose of Poverty" (ISBN-10: 1517533066 / ISBN-13: 978-1517533069) - available on Amazon - was very much liked by almost all of the readers. However, a concern was shown that the paperback edition of the book was out of the reach of an ordinary student, and thus, there was a need to come out with another edition which could be made affordable for the masses.

Although the kindle edition was there to fulfill this need, we decided, that since till now, in many areas of the world, an e-book was not a feasible reading medium, and there were many readers - especially the senior ones - who were not very comfortable with e-book reading; it was essential to print a separate abridged title extracted from the original one, in as compact a form as possible, and to make it as much affordable as possible. In this abridged book, we have culled the table of pictures, illustrations and tables; the bibliography, the index, and almost all of the images; and have reduced the font size as well as line spacing, stuffed the quotations within the main chapters so as to avoid extra use of even a single folio, and have used white paper in place of the cream paper used in the original one.

We have, however, maintained the original text and are sure that the book will succeed in conveying the message.
