On the one hand, it was a great pleasure to send money to Walter - it felt like making a personal contribution to hugely important research. On the other, it made me very angry at the state of things that this hugely intelligent, resourceful and trail-blazing scholar ended up selling 600-page plus photocopied books which might have been bound in the lower corner shop out.
Although Walter vetted those who were allowed to pay for the massively updated version of Operation Mind Control, I wouldn't be surprized if the occasional copy turns up on E-Bay...
Thanks. I'll keep my eyes open, but it must be pricey - despite the fact its not a real bound book. Is Bowert still alive? Anyone in contact with him who might suggest it is time to get a publisher for the new edition - or self-publish, bound and 'on-demand' via the internet - as computer technology now allows. I have a few such limited-ed or non-published MS in my library - but that is not the way to get all the info the planet needs out there! Time grows increasingly short and the situation more dire, I fear.
