Theos-Talk Archives (April 1998 Message tt00032)

Good suggestion. However, it is almost impossible to find Wood's book - "Is
This Theosophy?". Has anyone found a source of supply? May be it is time to
convert it into a pdf file and make it available on the net. It would be a
breakthrough possible only because of the net. BTW, does anyone have a copy
in any electronic medium?

PS: The two books are a required reading for anyone interested in Theosophy
and Theosophical History. The book by distasteful, is extremely well
documented and recently I had to verify a fact described in it and was
found that a living person was able to corroborate and confirm the
accuracy from personal knowledge. Also to this date I have not seen a single comment
on either book disputing anything in them. The books stand on their own and
anyone who has not read them should do so ASAP.
