Theos-Talk Archives (January 2009 Message tt00102)

Morten,
   Well if ones sells a book that people actual desire and want to have and at a price that equeals the "Reach Zone" it beats having to go door-to-door with a tin cup begging for donations to the Lodge.

Regards,
John

Yes.
But that does not explain the appearnt NEED by various TS Lodges to sell the books by C. W. Leadbeater, does it?

I do not believe H. P. Blavatsky ever agreed upon selling books by Beverly Randolph or by the Spiritists?

Here is another angle.

In today's Internet age, most of us buy our books on-line from sources such
as Amazon.com or e-bay. Also when the current digitation efforts progress,
most of the out of copyright as well as copyright material would be
available for free download or download purchase for a nominal price.

So, soon the issue of any lodge or center or any bookshop carrying a book
will become moot.
