OK,
 here's what I have and from the title page:

                  INSTITUE OF MARXISM-LENINSM OF THE C.C. C.P.S.U.
                 THE GENERAL COUNCIL OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL
                                        1864-1866(through 1872)
                                                      *
                                  THE LONDON CONFERENCE 1865
                                                 MINUTES
                                       PROGRESS PUBLISHERS

They are in minute format.
The table of Contents reads like:
Meeting of October 11. etc
Then in each volume there is in the last half of each edition "Documents by Karl 
Marx" with headings like"Crisis in the Paris Section", "Memorandum on Herman 
Jung...". Lots of neat things like that. They include illustrations of hand written 
notes by Marx, a leaflet from the IWMA to the British worker and a few things like 
that.

The two volumes of reports and letters from the Hague Conference of the First 
International Contain VERY juicy tidbits like letters to and from Engels to Wilhelm 
Liebknect! Really interesting. I actually put down my William Gibson novel last 
night and started to read these letters.

Anyway....I LOST YOUR DAMN ADDRESS AGAIN!!!!!! So....Ken boy...if you have a 
passing interest (perhaps you don't have a passing interest?) in these books I will 
gladly ship them to you on long term extended loan until they are scanned in and 
read by yourself. Let me know if you would like me to do this and I'll have them at 
the post office by Tuesday (I am going to insure them for $1000). Anyway, you 
might already have them.

waiting for your reply,
David
