32-Reading List for Lal Kitab system
Important : Studying Lal Kitab would be meaningful only if you are a good scholar of Vedic Astrology. I have yet to see a good Lal Kitab scholar who is not equally proficient in Vedic astrology.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lal Kitab is not a name of one single book. There are five books published during 1939 to 1952 and written by Pt Roop Chand Joshi. One need to read all those books to understand Lal Kitab in detail. In my opinion 1952 edition is the most exhaustive and must be the first book to be read by all Lal Kitab enthusiasts. 1952 edition also covers most of the content in other books. The best transliteration for 1952 edition is available in the form of "Arun Sanhita", published by Hare Krishna Trust, Chandigarh.

For further reading, I would suggest reading books in following sequence -

(1) 1942 edition (Lal Kitab - Tarmeem Shuda): Hindi transliteration of 1942 edition by Pt. Beni Madhav Goswami is available from Durga Pocket Books.
(2) 1940 edition (Lal Kitab ke Armaan): Hindi transliteration, by Pt. Beni Madhav Goswami, available from Himalaya Publications/ Sagar Publications
(3) 1941 edition (Lal Kitab - Teesra Hissa, also known as Gutka): Hindi transliteration by Yograj Prabhakar avaialble from Rahul Computers, Patiala
(4) 1939 edition (Lal Kitab ke Farmaan): Hindi transliteration, by Pt. Beni Madhav Goswami,  avaialble from Himalaya Publications/ Sagar Publications. [This is primarily a book on Palmistry aspect of Lal Kitab]

Two other recommended books are
(1) Lal Kitab Prishthabhoomi Aur Vyakhaya by Pt. Krishna Ashant
(2) Lal Kitab Aur Kashta Nivaran by Sumat Prasad Kalka

Both of above books are good, but have some serious shortcomings. For example, reasoning behind remedies is flawed in both the books. So wherever these authors are explaining the working of Lal Kitab remedies, those sections should be ignored. Also Pt. Ashant book's section of background of Lal Kitab does not seems to be correct where he questions the authorship of Pt. Roop Chand Joshi. To say it again, we should use these books with caution.
