    I've got all the old pretty books too.I also have all the volumes from 55 on up. I am thinking of getting rid of all them but keep hanging on in case the family also exits and I need them for refrence,

    What to do?

    You can arrange them all kinds of ways...

    I arranged them by size. Bound volumes on the bottom shelf. Too heavy to go any higher. Then on the upper shelves, I arranged them by size. Big book, then medium book, then the little books. Had to stack the paperback ones, they wouldn't stand up. Of course, their all in boxes now. I didn't arrange them any kind of way for the boxes, I just wanted em outa sight.

    I used to stack mine in the bookshelf according to size then color. Talk about being too organized. Then all those pretty colors went into a box and donated to a counter cult ministry...

    RF,

    Can you name a publication from a distance.........simply by the color of the book?

    I used to could do that, but don't know how rusty I've gotten.

    colors colors........... what about the serious, burgundy color of the Babylon the Great Has Fallen!! God's Kingdom Rules........or was it brick red..... A very weighty, dull as dirt tome.... and of course, made obsolete by Revelation's Grand Climax at hand, or whatever it was called. That one still had some of the great cartoons in it from the Judge days, making fun of religion and all, hehe..... Don't forget the TEAL color of the original Make Sure book! Member when the bi12 (deluxe bible) came out in burgundy? I could not wait to get it! Couse, now I have the Reasoning book bound into the back of my bi12 and a custom cover, with my name and baptism date on the front. VERY special. I have passed on the current fad of having hard covers for the WT on sunday, I like folding it up and mashing it into my sportcoat pocket when the study is over. AHHHH good times.

    I was a little miffed when the society started to publish the annual report in softcover and now it seems that it rarely if ever publishes softcover books at all.

    What is funny is that this was kind of played out as "oh what a wonderful new change and updating" because the softcover format allows for photos and greater use of colors and graphics right on the cover.

    I don't think I ever heard a word about the main reason the Society has gotten away from publishing hardcover publications: money. That is fine but it would have been nice if the Society when it made the change had an article in the KM saying, in an effort to save money we are moving to more softcover editions, etc.

    Anyway saving the publications is not as fun as when they were in hardcover form.

    If I wanted to give the impression that these books were solidly built on sound theology and represented serious exposition of God's word, I'd have them bound in black, as the NWTs were in later times. Was the colour coding due to the average witness not being much of a reader?

    I have the one before that. It was my grandmothers who was of the annointed( ooooh, am I special )

    It was the brownie rust one.

    Oberorbison,

    The reason for the soft covers now is that the light changes so fast they are making the books disposable!
