I could say a lot here but I will keep it to correcting a few facts. The Lybrary.com edition, which CARC is referring to, is in color (every page that has color is a color page in the PDF), the price is not correct, and it comes with a 540 page human edited and assembled index.

I see a difference in price between the Conjuring Arts' offering and yours, but that doesn't address my question. Are you suggesting that, if I order this from them (and I am about to) I will be charged a different price than their website lists?

I am saying that their price of $500 for the Lybrary.com edition is incorrect. That's all. It wasn't $500 for quite some time.

Has anyone seen both that can attest to the print quality of each? I'm certainly going to purchase one set, I just need to decide on which one, and I'm certainly a fan of both sellers!

Thanks.

I got my CD today and did a bunch of searches. The print quality is extra fine for the Conjuring Arts set. And the search function works great. A lifetime of material...
