The Mahabharata of Krishna-Dwaipayana Vyasa, Volume 1
Publisher Description
Originally composed in Sanskrit sometime between 400 BC and 400 AD, The Mahabharata-with one hundred thousand stanzas of verse-is one of the longest poems in existence. At the heart of the saga is a conflict between two branches of a royal family whose feud culminates in a titanic eighteen-day battle. Exploring such timeless subjects as dharma (duty), artha (purpose), and kama (pleasure) in a mythic world of warfare, magic, and beauty, this is a magnificent and legendary Hindu text of immense importance to the culture of the Indian subcontinent.

Where is volume 2, books 4 thru 7?
Why does the iBookstore have volumes 1, 3, and 4 but not 2? We are missing books 4 thru 7 here. It seems odd and rather disappointing not to have this missing piece. Please correct this and make volume 2 available here like the others.
