That saidYes, it was much later published - but I knew Bill Turner personally, and he told me the very strange story of how the huge first edition hardbound print run was put into the incinerator - except for a hundred or so books that some of the forklift men took home and sold. Talk about suppression of speech and thought!
Quote:the best one IMO by Turner and Christian which I have three copies of and was never officially published
Happily that is no longer true. The book received a couple of reprints over the past decade or so. Turner did a new intro, and the most recent paperback edition has an additional intro by Oliver Stone. The new edition is an inexpensive paperback, it looks like it's still selling to new readers, and it's continuing to gather positive reviews on Amazon. I agree it's a recommended read. The Amazon link is below. The few pages of the Turner intro that are visible through the 'look inside the book' feature suggests that the authors very much agreed with Peter's description of the book being suppressed upon initial publication.
