In one of my msgs some time back, I just speculated if the future of TS may
lie in selling of theosophical books. However there is one factor that
should be considered. It is the fact that most theosophical classics are out
of copyright and most of them are available for free on the internet. So in
the long run these classics may not provide much profit margin to continue
to publish. Furthermore the advancements in computer printing technologies
may make printing of books at home very feasible. But no one can see the
future and will have to wait and see.
