works by W.Q.Judge obtainable through Theosophy Company, Los Angeles.
 
 
Thanks for the references. The first one wasn't operating, and said that the page couldn't be displayed.  The second one came up fine, but said that it was a "Chocolate Lovers" page.  That is not quite what I had in mind when I asked about where I could find the Theosophy Press of Pasadena. I, myself, do like Chocolate quite a bit, but avoid it for weight control purposes.
 
Could I give it another try? Does anyone have a web address for the Theosophy Company of Padadena, or even Los Angeles? And a street address?
 
This is Los Angeles California. You know, like The Rose Parade, Hollywood, Disneyland, and all that.
 
I am not sure , but I think there is a communication problem here. It is not like " Go to Los Angeles, it is the third brick building on the left". Los Angeles and Pasadena have grown since 1992, and that is the last year that I have statistics that I can access readily. In 1992, Los Angeles was 470 square miles, and had 3.5 million people. The Phone book of the region makes a pile about 7 feet high. My phone book doesn't cover the downtown Los Angeles area, which is about 25 miles due north, nor the Pasadena area, which is about 36 miles due north.
 
I have looked in the phone books that I have, for buildings, universities, libraries, and organizations, for locations, but it is not listed. I have been by the old Theosophical headquarters up on Beachwood Drive, in Hollywood, but they are associated with the Wheaton, world-wide Theosophical organization, and I have their catalog.
 
Pasedena has an area of 23 Sq. Mi., and had 132,000 people in 1992.
 
If there is anyone who has a web address for the Theosophy (University?) Press of Pasadena, I would appreciate having it.  I have seen it referred to in books, and in illustrations and photo copies of the writings of the Adepts, but I haven't been able to get the numbers, and address.
 
 
These two addresses were in the original reply message to me, and  the first one is not operating, and the second one is an organization that lists groups, in this case the Chocolate Lovers group.

Here is a reference of my own, a spiritual organization. It is a Meditation organization, that puts out a monthly Meditation Monthly International, loosely associated with the Adepts. If you wish to see their material, the web page is www.wmea-world.org
---And make up your own mind about the value of the material.

Subject: Theos-World books

I find all this very interesting, and makes me want to read more on the subject.
 
I went to the current  [Theosophical Publishing House catalog, Quest Books, P.O. Box 270, Wheaton, Il 60189-0270, www.theosophical.org]  and ordered 3 more of  the COLLECTED WRITINGS OF H. P. BLAVATSKY, edited by Boris de Zirkoff volumes. I already have some of them.
 
Then, from the discussions and writings here, I looked for some of the works mentioned here, particularly Judge, but didn't find anything by him, Tingley (sp?), or the others of the break-away American Section.
 
I read about the breakup in Olcott's OLD DIARY LEAVES, who had a vested interest in presenting the matter from his point of view.
 
I conclude that those books (If they are still in print) are published by the Point Loma/ Pasadena publishing house.
 
Looking through all the Theosophical books that I have, I don't find any of them printed by the Padadena branch, unless it is those printed prior to 1910.
 
Can anyone here give me the Pasadena address, and web site for them?
 
Dennis
