Theos-Talk Archives (May 2011 Message tt00118)

Thanks for publishing a chapter from Pelletier's book. How I wish that the
entire book is available as a pd file for free. The hard copy is listed at
$95 and plus shipping and is very pricey for most theosophists, especially
in the developing countries. Making the book easily accessible to any
interested student will only further the cause of theosophy, in my humble
opinion. Let us see if any of the movers and shakers who have the authority
to release it as a pdf file, do see the point and act on it.
