When you have the facts on your side (and, from where I'm sitting, you
do), there is no need to resort to ad hominems.
3. “The Elder Brother” isn’t on the web because the profits continue to pour in.
Not quite. The book was not technically remaindered: Routledge (the publisher)
changed ownership and put much of their existing list up for sale. Copies of my
book were offered to me, but I had no interest (nor yet the money) to buy them
all. Since that time, not one cent of royalties have come to me. It is not on
the web because I do not have an electronic version of the book (written
pre-computers – I used an electric typewriter)
Barnes & Nobles used to have a deal where they would do Print on Demand
for any out-of-print book without charge. I don't know what the story
is, now.
