Friends,
To say that publishing books has nothing to do with ethical principles would be the same as stating that every theosophical editor is a scoundrel.
Yet not all of them are. Most of them are not scoundrels.
As any other human activity (Medicine, etc.) editing books has some ethical principles. Editing and publishing are no exceptions.
Carlos.
