J. “Red” Beckman, is stated second printing, June 1985. Volume II is stated first printing, April 1986. Published by Constitutional Research Associates, South Holland, Illinois.

The set is in Near Fine condition, with bright blue gilt-stamped boards, tight bindings, clean pages, and only minor evidence of handling. No dust jackets, apparently as issued. A laid-in warning/memorandum sheet is also present. A scarce signed association-era set connected to the 1980s tax-protest and constitutional research movement.

No endorsement of the legal theories advanced in the text is implied; buyers should regard the set as historical/collectible material and conduct their own research.
