Bert,
The above is a book published by the Tesla Museum. I have an original
of this book in my possession :) It is an excellent book for anyone
really interested in Tesla. It is not stuff about Tesla, but stuff
Tesla himself wrote. It includes most of his lectures patents and
articles, as the title suggests.

There are rip-offs of this book available, but the originals are rare.
The originals are in a brown and black leather binding with a sort of
spiral design embossed into the front cover.

I doubt if Bryan Matthews is selling a "stolen" copy of the book.

Maybe Richard Hull can fill us in on what sort of items *ARE* missing.
I for one would be interested. That way if I ever see such an item
I would be in a position to possibly get it returned to its rightful
owner.
