From over 150 entries, 22 short stories and 29 poems were selected, including contributions from [two] FIBIS members ... Secondly there is a 'Guest contributors' section which features the work of distinguished Anglo-Indian writers such as Ruskin Bond, William Dalrymple and Russell Lucas. The aim of the book is twofold, firstly its publication will help in preserving the culture of the Anglo-Indian community for posterity. Secondly the entire proceeds of the book go to CTR, a USA based 'not for profit' organisation ... dedicated to helping Anglo-Indians in India..."
