Theos-Talk Archives (July 2011 Message tt00048)

This was supposed to be a personal letter to Joseph Ross regarding his new
book - Krotona, Theosophy and Krishnamurti. Accidentally it was posted to
the list. My apologies to everyone including Ross. May be it is going to
bring some publicity!

The book has some very valuable and important material I have never seen in
my several decades of association with theosophy and we need to get the word
out.

While I am not happy about the pricing, some book sellers have started
selling it at a  discounted price, which is good news. Even the discounted
price is out of reach for most theosophists outside of the West and am
looking forward to a pdf file available for a small donation like what has
been done in computer Shareware. In the meanwhile, anyone who can afford and
has the interest in the historical material would find the book of great
value.
