Theos-Talk Archives (May 2006 Message tt00639)

I wonder if TS Adyar has abandoned the 3rd vol. of
Besant's SD. The 6 volume edition of Adyar is not
reprinted in recent years. The 3 volumed edition
brought out in 1979 1nd 1988 is a reprint of the
fascimile edition. Is this enough proff to say the
volume is 'abandoned'?
