Friends, For those of you who want to learn how to read Grantha, the following books may be useful. Venugopalan's book is available in an e-copy. I have looked at Visalakshy's book, which appears to be very well done. It gives examples from palm leaf manuscripts and copper plates. I have not had a chance to look at the third book.
