Patrick, I can understand why you would want the " Extraordinary Popular Delusions ...." book in hard copy. I'm the same way. I'd also like to read something about the Rothchilds of the time, the bankers that controlled much of the World's Money. I'm certain that would be very interesting. But I haven't a clue as to where to look or what the titles might be, if such books exist. One of the better books is "The Rise of the House of Rothschild" by Count Egon Caesar Corti. amazon.com It was orginally published in 1928, and was reprinted by Western Island, in 1972 and I believe at a point after that. I have a copy of it that I got in March of 1988 at a meeting up in Greenwich CT, with Bill Meridian. -g- I see that AMZN says it's out of print but they may be able to find it. "Secrets of the temple " is a good book on the Fed. E C Mullins books are very good as well. I highly recommend Ron Chernow's books His book "The House of Morgan" is an excellent primer on the history of banking and the panics of 1895, when the House of Morgan had to produce millions in Gold to Bail out the US Govt. and the panic of 1907...precursers of the fed. Chernow's book on the Warburgs is excellent. as are all his books. I have several books such as "portrait of a Banker" that are old books that I have bought in the last 15 years, at all types of obscure venues. Stillman, was the head of what is now the Citibank part of citigroup and 2 of his children married Rockefellers at the turn of the century. ALL of them are fascinating if one likes this type of stuff. The library in Brookside NJ used to always sell old books that had been donated to the library in estate sales. They would sell all of these 100 yr old books for 50 cents a piece. (I put in AMZN links for these books but they appear to be secure to my own account, so I have deleted all but the first. they will pop right up if you go into amzn and look though._ John
