I came across this interesting series this morning in an antique store. It's 23 or 24 volumes, it looks like a "Time/Life" type series.
My question is it is worth $25.00? I did not have the time to peruse it in depth, but the `st volume looked interesting. Each book is about a half inch thick with tons of pictures.
Just curious!
Thanks,
George

George,
I bought the set when they first came out. They have alot of unavailable pictures and stories in them.
Are the volumes $25 per book or the whole set for $25? Each book was $14.99 + ship when originally published.

Forgot to mention, the whole set was known as the Time-Life 'Mysteries of the Unknown'.
Re: Mind, Myth, & Magic
I got those some time ago and may soon clear 'em out... George, can you wait a bit? My price will be friendly (to you)! :eek:
Stay tooned.
Re: Mind, Myth, & Magic
It is an excellent series, especially if you research that sort of thing alot. Excellent pictures and a well balanced look at the subjects. There are actually 32 books in the set as well as a Master Index. I myself am still missing "Alien Encounters", "Earth Energies", "Eastern Mysteries", "Mystic Quests", "The Mystical Year", "Search for Immortality", "Time and Space" and "Witches and Witchcraft".
I still comb used bookstores in search of those particular ones in order to have a complete set, something that apparently few have done.

Paul,
I have about 16 volumes at home and originally had them on EBay for auction. I can check which one's I have and be willing to sell them to you individually.
Email me at terry01@mikrotec.com and I can let you know what I may have.

I've skimed every Volume, it's really kind of fascinating.

Re: Mind, Myth, & Magic
For those interested, (at the time of this posting) there are various singles, incomplete sets, and even a mint 33 volume set on ebay.
Just go to the eBay search engine and use "Mysteries of the Unknown" as the criteria.
