It was one of many books on similar subjects at the time but it stood out as something special. If I were to find a copy now I'd snap it up, re-read it, and pass it on.<br /><br />I see people sharing similar ideas today on social media.

I can only echo your other commentators.<br /><br />I was squatting in London at the time (Charrington St., Rectory Gardens) when I got my copy, now long lost as I've been in Indonesia for 20+ years.<br /><br />But, I still challenge assumptions and consistently ask "Why not?"<br /><br />Many thanks.Jakartasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13193111071556380486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13333926.post-87009136551766486272011-03-10T20:03:58.840+00:002011-03-10T20:03:58.840+00:00Cripes, hadn't thought about this for years.

Just ordered a copy for about $2 off Amazon, mainly out of shock that copies still exist.

How it had struck a responsive chord within me. How it had made me a better man. Not just through the knowledge contained within, but through the perpetual curiosity it has bred within me.<br /><br />Kyle<br />Glenwood, MD, USA<br />6/15/2010Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007348819598491656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13333926.post-8127371653289099632010-01-11T06:58:52.640+00:002010-01-11T06:58:52.640+00:00Great Blog.

Is there any PDF files somewhere or will I have to find and buy the book. How much would it cost??? Ballpark figure of course. This is a trip to say the least. Thanks for the awesome blog.<br /><br />AlienUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07369975067813672596noreply@blogger.com
