Mt. Olive Tape Library is probably the best single source for obtaining rare and hard-to-find audiobooks.  Here you will find the incomparable historical works of Dr. R.J. Rushdoony, Steve Wilkins' America:  The First 350 Years and much more.  Moreover, this catalogue also provides very stimulating audiobooks on economics and civics addressing worldview and apologetics.  Purchasing the catalogue is well worth the effort.  A must have resource.
