The book is available in hard, soft and e-copy too. If you
think it would be of interest to others it would be great if you
would suggest that any libraries you are associated with
purchase it.
You may find that some of the university libraries already have a online access account with Brill Publishers since they are arts, and humiliates and education specialists.
Also, if you think you may wish to write a review, I think the
publishers will be happy to send a reviewer's copy which will be
digital.

I see this work as very much the beginning of what I hope will be a long conversation between African and South Asian philosophy. I look forward to some responses, and hope that there will be furthering of the comparisons made in the thesis, and engagement with its questions.
I became interested in Yoruba thought through reading Wole Soyinka's Myth Literature and African World, and then his plays. I was struck by how many overlaps I was seeing between Yoruba concepts and the Hindu and Vedantic traditions I had grown up with and studied.
