Hi ... I found the book listed and for sale (although out of stock right now) at Amazon's U.K. site. It is NOT "banned" in the U.S. in any way shape or form -- it simply was not *PUBLISHED* here. As it was published IN Britain (by a British publisher), not in the U.S., that all by itself is sufficient to explain why it is not available from U.S. distributors. Distributors (Baker and Taylor, Ingram, and their ilk) deal with U.S. publishers almost exclusively, I believe, and therefore cannot afford to carry foreign books, as it would simply be too expensive for them to do so, at least on any general basis. As for openness of the discussions here ... well, that has been addressed recently on the list. ALL that is posted here is immediately available to the entire world. Every word of it. This is not a private conversation.
