Theos-Talk Archives (July 2007 Message tt00113)

    Hope you can do it and make it available.  Some books get search
and destroyed, of course.  I published about 40 copies of a book I
compiled by the atheist Col. Ingersoll - "Reason and Religion" - I
gave about 10 away - the rest got stolen somehow, although don't
notice that my other books were bothered.  First book I heard of by
Wood was his "Concentration" which I was going to use in a class I
wanted to give in an Experimental College on "Zen." 35 yrs. ago.  They
turned me down on the class, luckily, as I wasn't so knowledgeable as
i thought.  Another from Adyar people in the "Is this Theosophy?" vein
is Lutyen's "Candles in the Sun."
