I posted to another forum, maybe this one would be better suited.
I am a 32nd Degree Scottish rite Mason, I used to visit my SR Library in San Diego a number of years ago to continue my Masonic education. I could check out books free, but always wanted a library for home. I started purchasing books on Ebay...that got really expensive fast.
I begin to discover that I could find many of these titles from universities, the library of congress, and other places. I was able to find most of these books as scans directly from the text, in other words, the Adobe pdf is the exact copy of the book, so it is like having the actual library on your computer...amazing. (and adobe reader is a free download if you don’t already have it)
I now have an auction that I just started on Ebay...I am asking $15 for the DVD, includes shipping and the cost of the DVD and jewel case, and the cost of using my computer and network...I am not getting rich here at all. I used to have an online file share, but people abused it and I shut it down a couple years ago...
I don't want to post the link here as I have received negative responses when I did it elsewhere. If you are interested, go to ebay and search The Complete Masonic Library, my seller id is tomgnsd. You can pick up a copy there, currently i have 460 books on the DVD, 4.3GB from the 1800 and 1900, no anti masonic, no occult...

Good Evening Brothers,
I wanted to post a quick update here. First, if anyone is interested in my list of books and authors, please PM me or send me your email and I can forward it. I have had alot of positive response to the auction and just added another 15 books. Of course, I did already have 2 people try to scam me, but oh well, that goes with the territory I guess. Needless to say, I decided to offer international shipping. It will automatically calculate based on your location. This was based on requests I had in other forums from Brothers and Sisters abroad, one brother was actually writing a thesis on masonic history for his master's class, now that is just plain cool.
Good luck on your travels, god speed and god bless.
So Mote it be!
Tom G

Good Morning,
It has been more than a month since I have posted on this thread. I have received a few emails requesting me to make another run of the DVD's, I had planned on calling it quits, but hey ask and ye shall receive I guess. If you have read this post before, you will know that I have a compilation that I have offered that has 461 masonic texts, many of which are direct scans. I am posting again to see if there is any additional interest here.
If you are interested please PM me or post directly here. I will put these back on auction on Ebay (been a few weeks since I sold the last one so it will be a new auction). Also, if you do not wish to deal with the hassle of setting up an account, you can PM me your email and I can mail directly to you, via paypal payment. I have also accepted personal check, just have to wait till it clears and then I send you the DVD.
Good luck in your travels bretheren.
S&F
Tom G

Brothers, new initiates and our friends who are interested and support the craft.... I wanted to post a quick note today to let everyone know I am making a final run of my DVD. I have been happy to offer this to everyone, and for those of you who are enjoying it, thank you. It has allowed me to make some contributions to Masonic charity that I would have otherwise not been able to do. That being said, the DVD is still the same, 461 out of print books from the 1800 and 1900's. No issues with copyrights to worry about, a ton of scans directly from the books from some of the most popular masonic and historical authors out there. I have the last 20 available on ebay auction. A few of you here have reached out and we did checks and money orders too, anything for my community, just will have to wait for yours to clear then I mail it out. Price includes shipping to the USA, modest shipping overseas. I have received orders and have sent these DVD's around the world. It is amazing and I have been proud to do it. Thanks again for the great feedback and support I have received to date, it has made this fun...and believe me it takes allot of work and discipline outside my normal 9 to 5 and taking care of my family. If you are interested in getting a list of books, send me an email. Or check it out on the auction, the full list is there with information on how to get yours. Here is the link… cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260774087376&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:ITSincerely and Fraternally, Tom Godby San Diego #35 Scottish Rite of San Diego, Southern Jurisdiction

Just wanted to bump this thread. Slow goings now, but I will continue to offer this DVD so I can continue making the donations to the Square and Compass Children's Fund. The link is still the same, 466 books in pdf format, $16 USD includes free shipping in the USA and a modest fee is added for those outside our country. Just sent another one "down under" G-day mate! www.ebay.com/itm/260774087376?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649also, i am taking check or money order on this as well. it may take a little longer to get it as I will need to cash the method of payment. take care and all the best brothers!
