Mudgala is tricky to find in English. You can find it here:

Jason, thank you for the links.
the first link has just a few lines translated into English and nothing else.
and i could not find the Mudgala Purana in abebooks.
it was my mistake, that i did not point out in the opening question that it would be preferable to have the books in Sanskrit - Devnagri script or in English.
i need the books in their entirety

Well they shouldn't be difficult to find in Sanskrit. I'll keep looking...

thank you for taking your time to help me out!
Well, I found these books:
http://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/IDF774/
http://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/IHL657/
The first appears to contain a full English translation of the Ganesha. The second is a Sanskrit version of the same.
I have been unable to find any reference to an English translation of the Mudgala, although this book contains a chapter on it: http://www.exoticindiaart.com/book/details/IHL586/ The book is written by Phyllis Granoff of yale so it might be worth a shot of trying to get in touch with her. She most certainly will be able to tell you if it is possible to find a copy.

Sorry, the author of the article on Mudgala is Phyllis Granoff. The book is written by several authors..

but the search turned fruitless.

OK, here's two more possible sources for two of the books: The first book I found on a website in India. The second book I found on Amazon.com in America. Neither of the are very expensive.
I couldn't find the Sanskrit version of the book anywhere else, as there is no ISBN number for it. Also it was quite expensive at $55. But there is always a way to get the book if you really want it.
Here's the two books:

Did you contact Phyllis?
Strange that you can't find these books in Kolkata. Did you try asking in bookshops if they can get them for you?
