Many of the above articles as well as many Theosophical related
authors are now in print, and available from the Kessinger Publishing
Co.

This place has about 2000 old titles including such authors as
Sinnett, and James M. Pryse, & GRS Mead, who were working with HPB at
the end of her life.

They put out a packed paper catalog, and have a web site where you can
check for titles, www.kessinger.net
