I wish the cost per volume was lower but at
least these volumes are now reprinted after
more than 100 years!!! [I realize Volumes I and II
have been reprinted before.]

I agree. Better as nothing.

Daniel:
These original rare and fragile volumes have been
given a new life in these reprints and they are
photographic facsimiles of the original volumes.

Yes.

Daniel:
Anyway, these 14 volumes now reprinted contain
a gold mine of information.


Yes.

Daniel:
I spent several thousand dollars in this project
and was happy to do so. I hope students will
realize the value of these volumes and that 
especially
Theosophical branches, lodges and study centers 
will
obtain these volumes.

I see it well. My criticism was not to belittle 
the project as such nor your intensive work, but 
to declare that the price is too high for me.
We have a German saying: The better is the enemy 
of the good.

Daniel:
As far as the contention that the
reprints are "bad photocopies" or of "low
quality", if anyone has bought copies of the
Kessinger reprints of HPB's LUCIFER, Volumes
I and II, these two volumes are nicely
reproduced. I was amazed at how well they
were reproduced. Maybe I am more easily
impressed than others??

I was worried from my experiences with Kessinger's 
reprints of the Raja Yoga Messenger of The 
Theosophical Path. The picture pages are very 
dark.
