In the course of researching Russ Whitney to defend myself against his lawsuit, I have come across many publications of his.
One complaint I have heard about both Whitneys publications and his seminars is that they are repetitive. I can confirm that with regard to his books and cassettes. He tells the same stories over and over. In some cases, the repeated portion is verbatim. The two books Building Wealth System and Keys to Real Estate Financing Locating & Analyzing contain verbatim passages from the book Building Wealth. Whitney is entitled to do that, but he ought to tell customers that they will be getting the same material if they buy all three books.
I would appreciate any help readers could give me in acquiring copies of each and every one of them. Items that are in red are things I need readers to help me find.

Glossary
A glossary in the back of Overcoming the hurdles & pitfalls of financing, locating & analyzing of real estate appears extremely inconsistent with Whitneys writing style. I wonder if it was copied from another publication. I would appreciate it if readers would check their pre-1984 real estate books for a real estate glossary that starts with the definition Accelerated depreciation-A method of cost write-off in accounting practice in which allowances for depreciation of a wasting asset are greater in the early years and decline according to a formula and ends with the definition Wraparound mortgage-In general, a third party lender refinances the property by assuming the existing mortgage (and its debt service) and wraps around a new junior mortgage. [By the way, I disagree with that definition of a wraparound.] I am also interested in acquiring a collection of every promotional piece Whitney ever distributed. Often, these are inside the covers of Whitney products you bought.
