    I just went to Amazon to buy a copy of COC (not CAWK, COC) and I found that there were NONE available to buy brand new so I had to go through a seller… and the sellers asking price started at $133.92 and went all the way up to $900!

    So, my question is… Now that Raymond Franz has passed, who exactly owns the rights to those books? I would live to see all of his books (and Hassan’s) not only being printed but also in E editions so people with Kindle’s and Ipad’s could download, read and delete if needed the books privately without anyone ever knowing. It would be AWESOME if we could get Franz’s books on kindle for free, it does not appear anyone is interested in printing them anymore.

    Also, there is a link on the left side of the page that says “Tell the publisher I’d like to read this on my kindle” I have no idea if that works but by all means, please click it!

    Available in PDF format ... http://www.commentarypress.com/Detail/eng_crisis_e.html

    As far as hard copy, I think you just have to wait for Amazon to stock it again.

    I recently purchased a hard copy for $29.95 from Amazon. Looks like a beat ya to the punch! It even had Cynthia Franz' name on the return address.

    dontplaceliterature- Who was the seller you bought from? If Cynthia Franz was the return address she may know how we can get this book into Ebook Format, I have it in PDF but the format makes it almost impossible to read on Kindle.

    Both "Crisis of Conscience" and "In Search Of Christian Freedom" are available as PDF's from the above link... Which is the publishing company started by Ray Franz.....

    Cynthia was the seller.

    Cynthia now owns the copyright to the book.

    Distribution of the pdf version of the book to friends is against copyright law. It is a small bit of somehing that she has to live on. It isn't like they got a pension when they left the WTS.

    No one should be selling that book for that much. Certainly no one should buy it for that much. if you really want the hard copy of the book email Commentary Press to see when they might have another printing.
