Daniel, from one point of view it is a good thing
that the
early vols. are again available.
But what amazes me a little bit is the high price
of $28 to
$38 for each vol.
The whole collection of 14 vols. will cost around
$500.
Considering that these reprints are no quality
reprints but
just bad photocopies I wonder why the price is so
high.
There will not be much theosophists out there
which are able
and willing to pay such prices.

Subject: Theos-World The Theosophist: Facsimile
Reprints of
the First 14 Volumes
To Blavatsky/Theosophical students, inquirers,
historians, Theosophical branches/lodges, editors
of Theosophical magazines and various public,
university and special libraries:
I am happy to announce the reprinting
of the first 14 volumes (1879-1893)
of THE THEOSOPHIST, originally edited
by H.P. Blavatsky.
These original rare and fragile volumes have been
given a new life in these reprints. These
reprints are photographic facsimiles of the
original
volumes.
See the following webpage for more details
and how to order from Amazon.com:

When I first conceived of this project one year
ago,
it was hard to believe that it might be
accomplished.
But with some inspiration, a sum of money and the
help of
David and Nancy Reigle and Kessinger Publishing,
I am happy to say that this project is nearing
completion and that most of the 14 volumes are
now available.
Please let other students of Theosophy and
members of various Theosophical organizations
know about these reprints.
I am also hoping that some students will be able
to purchase and donate sets to some of the
major university libraries in the world.
Please spread the word!
NOTE: 6 of the volumes are not yet in the
Amazon.com
database but should appear in the next week.
Once again, see the following webpage for more
