There lot of websites where you can find many book which are rare in nature.But you have to be careful before importing.List is very long. BUT some books name is given for information like:

In general any newspaper,news sheet,book or other documents containing any words ,signs or visible representations which underminesor likely undermine the friendly relations of India with foreign States.
The primary concern is the secutity,public order and interest of general public.

It is better that before buying any books on popular websites of ``Amazon,``eBay``, ``Alibris``,``Biblio``,``Abebooks,``Biblion``, ``Tomfolio``,``Bookfinder``,``Addall`` or any other websites,pl check whether you can import that book or not.
I can also help you to know importability of a particular book.
