I can't answer your question, maybe someone else can but I thought I would mention that my dead brother had a collection of books and W&A magazines to revil even the best Kindom Hall libraries. He is missing only a few of the books published. It is an amazing and extensive collection that I have been left in charge of. He even left a list of the books he is missing - which I think is only about 15.
Do you all think it is best to:
a) sell it as a collection on ebay
b) sell them individually and burn what won't sell.
Personally, I would take it all to the dump but my mom is having a heart attack over my suggestion. She wants me to donate it to a new KH and I Will NOT DO THAT. So, I told her that I would sell it and give her the money as long as she does not give it to the WTS. Se has agreed.
BTW, I also found out that she left everything to the WTS in her will. My brother and I sat her down after 2 of my brothers died and forced her to change her will. She is old and she did what my youngest brother told her to do. He told her that the WTS had lots of money and didn't need her small amount, afterall, she had given to it for 80 years, she owed anything left to her children. It is possible she will chenge it back, but my brother, I Think, convinced her.

i would do the ebay thing. it's good to have those old books on hand to see if the wtbts uses a bit of word switching when quoting themselves to make their history sound better.
and, i'm not sure how extensive the library CD is. does it include the red youth book of the 70's that said 'masturbation leads to homosexuality', or do they just keep the "latest light" and make it the Young People Ask book of the 80's?
i ordered the read Youth Book on ebay since people conveniently forget some of the idiocy in that book.
but, if everything is documented on the cds now and the info isn't being altered, a fire might be cathartic. :)

Amazon had 'Proud Parent of a Jehovah's Witness' bumper stickers and t-shirts I think too.

I imagine that if you sell them individually on ebay (more work though) you might sell them as many people from overseas can pick and choose what books they want without the shipping costs being too much of an issue.

I am sure it includes that book. The collection is in Colorado stored in my mom's basement. He had bought a number of the books off of ebay trying to complete the entire library and was only missing a few of the VERY early books.
Well, I am going to hold tight for a while, at least until I am back in the States for at least a month at a time until I make a decision. Thanks for the input!

Gringa, it would probably be better to sell them separately on Ebay.More money is paid for the books , booklets and magazines from C.T.Russell's era.Values go lower from the J.F.Rutherford's era to today.If you have any question drop me a email. Investigator74
