Finding "The Plot to Seize the White House"

[editor]

Anybody found a copy for sale yet?

Any chance of you answering any of my highly relevant questions today?

 

[William of Walworth]

Well, it could be that of the very few copies ever printed, none are currently for sale. A not unusual circumstance.

Or it could be that some agency is secretly buying up all the copies (to absolutely no purpose) to prevent the world gaining the vital knowledge available within. There is not the slightest evidence that this is the case.

Which of these two possibilities strikes you as being several thousand times more likely than the other?

^^wriggle

What on earth was 'wriggling' about Donna's p[ost?

With economy and succinctness, he's exposed how much of a stranger you are to logical thought processes and Occam's Razor.

I have read this whole thread, and your entire 'case' is desparately weak and implausible.

Answer this : if copies are available in libraries (as you admit, but pretend is a diversion -- why is that irrelevant, then??) whay are they still? If 'they' are so anxious to suppress the book, then surely it would be even EASIER to ensure a book goes 'missing' from a library?

Like laptop, I never saw you as a conspiraloon, but you're talking distilled essence of bollocks on this one ...

This thread is about the disapearance of a book from sale.

Not about copying ten percent of it from a library or once in a year book sales from one.

It was aimed at the editor.

 

[editor]

This thread is about the disapearance of a book from sale.

Gosh! And that never, ever happens anywhere else does it?

 

[editor]

It was aimed at the editor.

Have you actually got any figures for how many copies were printed/distributed/sold yet?

You kinda need those, you know.

Yes, but you've not even begun to demonstrate what thre point would be of removing it from sale if it was still freely available. That's before we even start on the absolute lack of evidence that anybody is doing this.

Hmm. Wasn't there something about the characteristics of conspiracy theorists...

 

[DrRingDing]

I have read this whole thread, and your entire 'case' is desparately weak and implausible.

If you think the disappearance of a bestselling book by an author whose other books are availible at very reasonable prices is not suspicious. Also From a publisher that closed down not 'soon after' the book was published and whose other books are availible for purchase. And incidently I think we are forgetting that the book is about some very rich familys that hold great monetary/politcial power still in the world today planning to overthrow a democartic country and replace it with a fascist regime.

If you don't find this a little fishy I believe honestly your opinion is weak and implausable.

Suppose we just have to wait for that Guardian article

 

[DrRingDing]

Gosh! And that never, ever happens anywhere else does it?

Of course it happens occasionally but it is very strange it would happen to a bestselling book from an author whose all other books are freely availible at very reasonable prices.

 

[DrRingDing]

Have you actually got any figures for how many copies were printed/distributed/sold yet?

You kinda need those, you know.

So do you.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

If you think the disappearance of a bestselling book

You were going to source that claim...

 

[DrRingDing]

You were going to source that claim...

...and you yours?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Sorry, which claim was I being invited to source?

 

[DrRingDing]

Well, it could be that of the very few copies ever printed, none are currently for sale. A not unusual circumstance.

This chap here.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

My source for that claim is of course your good self.

 

[editor]

So do you.

That's correct. For me to pass any judgement on whether there's anything mysterious about the rarity of a book, I'd need to know how many were published, distributed and sold.

Curiously, you don't appear to think those factors are remotely important.

 

[DrRingDing]

My source for that claim is of course your good self.

Where did I say there was "very few copies printed"?

 

[editor]

Where did I say there was "very few copies printed"?

So, how many copies were printed, distributed and sold, please?

 

[DrRingDing]

That's correct. For me to pass any judgement on whether there's anything mysterious about the rarity of a book, I'd need to know how many were published, distributed and sold.

Curiously, you don't appear to think those factors are remotely important.

If you are genuinely interested in the fate of the copies of this book then maybe we should be making an effort find these details.

But

If you just want to carry on stamping on a thread posted by me which has a whiff of conspiracy about it, then just carry on.

 

[DrRingDing]

So, how many copies were printed, distributed and sold, please?

Would that make any difference to your opinion on this thread? Honestly?

 

[Donna Ferentes]

Where did I say there was "very few copies printed"?

Ah, the print run. Well, you see, print runs are normally short. It's only normally if there's a demand that items run to second printings, and so on.

 

[Donna Ferentes]

If you are genuinely interested in the fate of the copies of this book

I'm certainly not, although I'm interested in why somebody should stubbornly make a ludicrous fuss about nothing and without evidence of any sort.

 

[editor]

Would that make any difference to your opinion on this thread? Honestly?

Have you bothered to research those figures or not, please? Straight YES/NO will do to each question.

 

[PrinceToad]

my local 2cnd hand book store assures me he has a copy somewhere, at least he thinks he has ( he's a bit doddery) if he has do you want it?

Yes, thank you , snadge, this is the kind of answer that I was hoping for: can you give me his phone number?

(PS: I promise I am not working for the CIA or a large industrialist conspiracy: cross my heart and hope to die.)

 

[DrRingDing]

Have you bothered to research those figures or not, please? Straight YES/NO will do to each question.

Well I'm stumped as to where to find such figures but I am looking for clues.

I await your next boot.

 

[PrinceToad]

Still waiting

snadge: an address or name, or even general location of the shop will be fine. Private message to me is best - don't want to alert any competition, do I?

 

[Louloubelle]

well I've never heard of this book and will look out ofr it in charity shops

If i find a copy I'll put it up for auction on ebay on a 5p listing day at a price of $100,000

If the US govermnent really are buying up all copies them they'll think nothing of paying that much for it as it's a drop in the ocean to them.

You can find it online here, it seems:

I guess the attempt at suppressing the text was a failure.

 

[Brainaddict]

Either that or the powers that be long since gave up using such blunt instruments as overt censorship/book destruction to protect themselves. They have Fox News these days y'see.

Impressive bump btw
