Theos-Talk Archives (December 2010 Message tt00007)

Dear MKR,

I tried to help it buying new books in its web-bookstore ("wisdomtraditions.com")on August 18, 2010. After all, it is to owe of every theosophist to help the theosophical cause.  
  
Unhappily I didn't receive the 13 books that I bought at web-bookstore and I didn't obtain any answer for e-mail on this.

I don't care if my purchase in the web-bookstore became donation, but I could be honestly noticed.

If the web-bookstore is not working, then they should inform the visitor, so that this last one doesn't pay for a book that won't receive.

Best regards,

Chan (from Brazil)
