    The Bible Students still publish the studies in the scriptures (6 volumes) not the 7th which is a Rutherford authorized mishmash. The smaller blue/black copies are probably from their printing plates.

    I don't think I will sell them for now, they have sentimental value, plus If my parents ever question my sources I can always show them the original quotes.

    Here are the books. I have ended up with 4 different styles of Studies.

    these are good enough reasons. let me add that unless you need the cash, they are worth being kept. they can only go up in value (imo)

    As Blondie said, the Bible Students keep vols 1 through 6 in print today, BUT they are not the original FIRST editions - they are the later revised and corrected and "fixed up" versions. So you probably have something of ral value there. As for the "Millions" booklet, you can buy a replica reprint of it on Lulu.com for $8. That's a far better value for anyone who isn't interested in smelling old paper.

    I would certainly keep these. These will prove invaluable for helping others to see the truth about the "truth". I wish I had that collection!

    Wow, that's an amazing collection you have there! The oldest publication I have is "New Heavens and A New Earth" from 1953. I haven't been motivated to read it though.
