Don't know if this has been mentioned before or not. I can't seem to get the links to show here so you will need to paste these.
I came across these early Watch Tower books that are part of Google Book Search. Google has teamed with up various libraries and is scanning old books and making them available for researchers on the internet. These books can be viewed and also downloaded. The first five volumes of Millennial Dawn are thus available. (I could not find Volume 6 “The New Creation” on Google Book Search except in later reprints by Bible Students.) Also included here is the 1918 printing of “The Finished Mystery” and the 1899 edition of “Tabernacle Shadows.” The scans are not perfect but for the most part the text is readable.

Some of these early printings have never been made available online before—especially Volumes 2 and 3 of Millennial Dawn (The Time is At Hand and Thy Kingdom Come). These are early editions with the predictions for 1914 left intact.

I’m still trying to figure out Google Book Search. The links above contained the search queries and can take you to the wrong link because many of these volumes have the same file name. These links should take you to a thumbnail of the book. Underneath this it will say “Read This Book” or “Download PDF”:

I've had a couple say they were having problems getting these. If so, I can email most of them as file attachments. Drop me a PM with an email address and I'll send it along.
