So you tell me this why? You want me to condone your swiping a book, (and an out-of-print and difficult-to-replace one at that), from a place where actual kids may find it and get the same benefit you derived? I have done what I can. I have caused a free-of-charge reading of the book to be available in the Audio Archive, connected to the Pinkwater Podcast section of this very website. I have asked my agent to to find a publisher to reprint it, and also to look into bringing it out as a graphic novel. I am making myself accessible to movie producers who want to adapt it. And, in fact, there is a copy of the original hardcover with the lurid red cover and the linoleum cut art out there on Ebay, or in the next used bookstore, and you can buy it for a trifling amount and not be a criminal. Let us keep this matter on a high moral plane.
