Theos-Talk Archives (May 2011 Message tt00106)

I just visited the interview with Pelletier, many have heard of his
voluminous work 'The Judge Case.' Not only is it very voluminous and
contains a lot of material, it is also pricey. Thus very few have seen the
book and not many average theosophists can afford to buy it. The net result
is the very purpose of publication is defeated. Most theosophists do want to
read first hand material and come to their own conclusions. We are yet to
see a digital copy of the book which will make it easily accessible to
members world-wide almost instantaneously.

It looks like the decision makers who who come up with pricing of
theosophical publications seem to be totally blind to the need to make
theosophical material easily accessible to middle class theosophists most of
whom work full time and live on a month to month budget and cannot afford
pricey books.

Other leaders and authors in theosophical circles also are not sensitive to
the price issue. This may be because most of them may have received a
complimentary copy or may be the books are paid for by the organizations
they are part of.

Until the publications are converted to electronic format and made available
for free or for a $1, we cannot expect a good circulation.

Let us all pray that those in charge of deciding on the pricing, soon wake
up to reality of the Internet world and digital publication.
