Dear UltraG, >> would it make sense to buy a first edition of Franz Bardons books from 1956 ? i am thinking about the german edition. are there any differences to the later editions of the 70Žs/ 80Žs or later ? << Since the original manuscript was in German, there would not be the issue of different translators to contend with like in the English editions. Since it's not a translation, I rather doubt there'd be any difference other than non-content differences in printing, cover, format, etc. My best to you, :) Rawn Clark 21 Nov 2003 rawnclark@... rawn@... http://www.ABardonCompanion.com http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BardonPraxis http://E.webring.com/hub?ring=arionthebardonwe
