A famous underground book by William Pierce

[samiaseo222]

Reading the Dutton (1985) edition of this Immigration book, one discovers that it does not talk about the destruction of America at all. The purpose of the book was to persuade readers to place pressure on their congressional representatives to support the "Simpson Mazzoli" immigration bill that would be up for another vote in 1986. In fact, the "Simpson Mazzoli" bill was passed and new "tough" immigration laws were on the books. So this immigration book, by former Governor Lamm, served its purpose and is history; it is no longer that interesting and is probably long out of print.

Around this same time, I had ordered titled Turner Diaries. It is an extremely racist book, and was not the sort of thing a bookstore would stock in 1989. After a couple months, the book was delivered by the phone number list book dealer for a modest price. The publisher was National Alliance, located in Washington D.C. at the time. According to Books in Print, there was a second publisher for Turner Diaries. That new publisher was listed as Gordon Press, and the book was described as having a library binding and costing $79.95.

I was convinced that I too had stumbled on a very significant government sting operation intended to catch extremists, particularly right-wing types. They do not send books, so they are not an underground press distributing radical literature. I do not believe they are merely "crooks" out to swindle people foolish enough to send them money. They boost prices so high when people look into their titles that they actively discourage ordinary folk from buying from them. However, organizations may have the money and determination to order such expensive titles! Swindlers they are; but Gordon Press is looking for more than money. So what are they after, if not money? Names! Names! They want the names and addresses of people interested in books on explosives, sabotage, and radical politics.
