Dear Jaywood 216;
The FED as a bookstore would not be testifying through books that it sells as a distributor. I have not read the books you mention but doubt on first glance they are publications of the Federal Reserve Bank. "...now unavailable from the FED" implies that these were once available through a FED bookstore? A book distributor is not testifying through choices of what to sell or not to sell.
You should get the comic books for kids; these are definitely testimony written by the New York FED. Not hearsay.
The two I have read were (hoping I recall correctly) "What is Money?" and "What is a Bank" (or maybe "Your First Bank Account". They should be able to find them from your description anyway. If you teach, and I was lecturing at the time, they will mail you bundles of 30 for free. Maybe Admin will help you distribute them to Ecclesia so to keep mailing addresses private. If you are simply having trouble finding the books, try Bijou Street Bookfinders at (719) 578-5044.
I admit that was over ten years ago. Another thing you can do. Get on the subscription of events and lectures like above - http://www.federalreserve.gov/boarddocs/speeches/2004/20040910 or better yet http://www.ny.frb.org/education/ and http://www.treas.gov/financialeducation
Often you will read testimony before Congress when you subscribe. I have a computer program to convert the text into voice and record this for my Pocket PC in MP3 files so that I can hear the testimony a few times.
Regards,
David Merrill.

Dear David Merrill,
__Two Faces of Debt__ and __Modern Money Mechanics__ were educational publications of the FED, both the FED Bank of Chicago I think, that were intended for adults. Jaywood216 is correct that they have stopped publishing them. This is almost surly because they did reveal too much truth, and were testimony against the almost legal, and definitely unlawful aspects of bank loans. I acquired electronic copies of the documents. I don't know if they are both still on the internet as true copies of the original documents, which I have, or just textual copies, which I have seen on several websites found via Google. I would offer to post them on this site in the files section, but I am not at all sure about the legal rights to do so. So, I am hesitant to recommend it to the administrators here. If they are willing to take that risk, I would be happy to send them copies.
Take Care & God Bless!,
Ishmael Aylwin

Thank you Ishmael Aylwin;
So try the booksellers - out of publication specialists like I suggested. If the author is the FED, then these things are likely replaced by factual testimony that is current to current operations.
When the bulletins are broadcast, they are usually careful to specify if they are speaking for the FED or as an independent expert. My aversion to paranoid delusions says that the books are likely outdated. That is the reason they are no longer available from the FED. The 'system' is always enhancing risk management and operational protocol, especially since 9/11 and Ronald Dean cured the bond sunsetting the Bretton Woods Agreements. The Avian Approach of the BIS (Bank of International Settlements) is another good example. So even if you get hold of one of these books mentioned, it may be that the material is not really applicable in today's FED operations or the macroeconomic landscape in general.
I just purchased five more Credit River Money Decision and de jure 13th Amendments for attachments to counterclaims while a new suitor is filing in Denver today. The methods of curing remedy are quite sound - always have been.
Regards,
David Merrill.
