I'm looking for a copy of Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control - Amazons listing puts it at over £250, Some American site puts it closer to £50, including an international shipping charge.
There's a PDF available but it's edited and I want a legitimate copy.
An independant bookshop might source it, but how would they go about valuing something like that? What's that kind of specialist knowledge and connection worth - 20% in this case, considering all that they'd really need to do is create a paypal account and use that american site?

9781587314650 Jones, E.Michael Libido Dominandi: Sexual Liberation and Political Control
Therefore, we wouldn't be able to process the order as this would automatically cancel.
I do apologise for any inconvenience.
I gave them my name and email for nothing. Fuckers.
Your local library will be able to arrange an inter-library loan for a small fee. You'll probably end up on a list for wanting to borrow that, but you're no doubt already on a list.
You're trying to track down an obscure book by an anti-Semite with strong connections to chronic masturbator and alt-right groups. The thesis of that book is that Jews, fisherpersons and homosexuals are conspiring to destroy western civilization through sexual perversion. You're clearly not an academic or a postgrad student with a legitimate interest in the topic, because if you were you'd know that your university librarian can get hold of basically anything if you just ask.
>>7307 Well that's certainly interesting to learn. I do hope I won't start tattooing swastikas on my face.
Mien Kampf is sold in Waterstones, for fuck sake.
We're not talking about a historically significant or even particularly interesting book. E. Michael Jones has written sixty-odd books over the last 30 years, most of which are baseless anti-Semitic rants. The only people who would conceivably have an interest are a) serious scholars who are deeply researching the obscure corners of alt-right politics and b) actual Nazis.
The chances of OP being a serious scholar are basically zero, because he lacks the most rudimentary research skills. Given that we're on an imageboard and given that one of the only places on the internet to have actually taken this book seriously are Gab and 4chan's /pol/, the chances of him having ill intent aren't 100% but they're pretty damned close.
If I'm completely mischaracterising OP, then he is absolutely within his rights to explain why he is so interested in an obscure and out-of-print book by an author who is almost exclusively read by neo-Nazis.
I'll bet any of you a tenner that OP has previously been banned for Naomi Seibt shitposting.
What the fuck is wrong with you you absolute drip.
Half this country is fascinated with serial killers and I doubt you question their intent. Maybe OP is a Nazi, maybe he's just the same kind of morbidly curious as I would be, but either way I see no reason he has to be a "legitimate scholar" in order to want to read it.
Maybe he's GCHQ lad, and just wants it so he can groom someone into committing a shooting plant evidence to frame them up as a right wing terrorist, who knows.
I never said anything about burning books or prosecuting people for the things they read. I'm simply stating the fact that taking an interest in this sort of literature will get you flagged by the security services. Nobody is going to boot your door down, but questions will be asked if you try to join the police or apply for a job at BAE and Special Branch will pay you a visit if you start buying fertiliser and pressure cookers. The moral questions surrounding that fact are above my pay grade.
>>7315 Hahaha, clear off. No ones being “prosecuted”, you delicate sod, do you even understand what the word means? It’s one thing to permit the existence of far-right loons, it’s quite another to have to spend any time with them. I’m almost certain OP knows all he needs to about the book in question, he’s simply trying to spread awareness and inspire debate about it. To suggest we need to be cordial with someone who’s fibbing from the word go is preposterously naive.

This is the perfect opportunity for you to teach us the development of research skills and how they're performed. Think of the good you'd be doing for the world.
A large number of posts in this thread have been made by IPs with no posts elsewhere on the boards, or none before the thread was made. I'm not going to say which but you can guess.
Visit your local library and talk to the librarians - people often have the idea that they're just glorified shelf-stackers, but they're skilled professionals. Through the inter-library loan system, they can search for and request books from any library in the country, including the British Library. Bear in mind that most library services will offer you membership even if you don't live in the borough and university libraries are usually open to the public.
Google the words "libgen" and "scihub", because they're the greatest academic resources in the history of humanity.
Choose a reference management application and learn how to use it properly. I prefer JabRef, but the most popular options are Mendeley and Zotero.
Learn the basics of statistics. Even if you're not particularly mathematical, it'll hugely improve your ability to spot dodgy data and see through weak arguments. How to Read Numbers by Tom and David Chivers and How to Make the World Add Up by Tim Harford are gentle, intuitive and very readable introductions to statistical thinking.
If you're thinking about going on a shotgun rampage in Plymouth, seek psychiatric help.
I don't have any knowledge of the writer, but in the interest of encouraging freedom of research, the following website can be very useful for finding rare books:
I've read 5 chapters so far and the book does seem fairly bias. I'm not really educated enough to point out examples, but it's there to be felt.
Parts of the writing seem reasonable; it has atleast offered in interesting explaination of the french revolutions, which if i ever get around to learning history might serve well compared against other accounts.
Does anyone remember this series of books from maybe the late '80s to the '90s? I don't think they were picture books. They were probably about mice or some other sort of small animals, the memorable thing being at the end of each book the author usually included photos of a sculpture they'd made of some of the set pieces from the story, possibly castles or boats, out of toothpicks or lolly sticks, something like that?
