What a joke. :rolleyes: Good luck with .... .that.

Libre I sense you're arguing just to argue with me. You don't actually believe that there's anything worthwhile in OJ's book do you? While I don't disagree with you regarding research and the value of resources you can't honestly believe there's any value to this book. By the way, the first...

The new 'Deluxe Classic' edition of Gravity's Rainbow with cover designed by Frank Miller due out this month(Nov/06).

Ouch! That hurt Stewart! ;) Another possibility is different publishers. Some books have different publishers for different regions thus different covers.

Your anser is complete, correct and final is it? Okay then why spend the extra money paying designers for two different covers?

Fortunately, I think, the majority of time we get the UK editions here in Canada. There are studies that say Americans, Europeans and Canadians all have different buying habits. How, or if, this has been applied to cover design I do not know. Possibly books are pitched at slightly different...

If you buy a book written by an author you support that author. If the author is a murderer you are supporting that murderer. Unless OJ is donating all proceeds from his book to a charity? Cancer Research? Find The Real Murderer(s) Fund? Yeah, thought so. Purchase of OJ's book supports OJ...

No. I haven't and I wouldn't. The books on Hitler that people read don't profit the Nazi organizations around the world now do they? And even if I did buy Hitler's very own book, Mein Kampf, it's public domain and would only profit the publisher.

Just because a jury found him innocent doesn't make him so. I haven't paid much attention to him or his plight but I do believe with legal fees and the money he had to pay the family of Nicole Brown he isn't exactly rich by celebrity standards anymore. Thus, a book entrenched in sensationalism...

Pointing out that supporting murderers is a bad thing is an attack?

You answer a relevent question with a personal insult? Classy.

You didn't miss much with the Pam and Tommy vid. It's not hard to find much better amateur porn. If, as you say, you consider OJ such a sick person then why put money in his pocket? Do you support sexual offenders in the same way? Or just murderers?

This book and the attention it gets is very sad. Orenthal James has nothing to say, nothing to add to this world. Yet, a few special people, will encourage him by giving him undue attention and money by buying this book. By buying this book the worst things about our world are encouraged...

Maybe John Wyndham's books? Larry Niven's? Look into modern sci-fi if he enjoys science. Hugo winners may be a good start.

Incredible insight! Best literary review ever!

Your endorsements are shitty.

Indeed. Actually, you just gave me a good idea. I just need a decent photo printer. Make my own bookmarks out of spiffy covers.

I agree, I was asking a bookseller if he saw FP come in trade very often anymore so I could complete my Eco collection. My copy is a dingy worn mass-market. He found in his database that there was a reissue coming so instead of ordering the trade with the swirlled colours on it I decided to...

Harcourt is reissuing Foucault's Pendulum in trade paperback in March 2007. Don't know if this will be a North American only release or not. Too lazy to check amazon.co.uk ;)

If on a Winter's Night a Traveller, Italo Calvino.
