Subject: Amazon.com Drops Book Critical of Scientology
It's funny that we were just discussing your article and Scientology.

Amazon Drops Controversial Book
by Polly Sprenger
3:00 a.m. 20.May.99.PDT
Amazon.com has removed a controversial book from its listings, a book well
known for angering the Church of Scientology.
A Piece of Blue Sky, by UK writer Jon Atack, is an exposé of the Scientology
movement from its creation in 1959 until the death of founder L. Ron Hubbard
in 1986. The book disappeared from Amazon's site only recently.
On alt.religion.scientology newsgroups, participants are questioning
Amazon's
decision, angrily pointing out that it is still legal to sell the book in
United States, and accusing the online bookseller of censorship.
Amazon spokeswoman Lizzie Allen would only say that "under certain
circumstances, for legal reasons, we need to stop selling a book. I really
just can't comment any further."
Publishers of the book, Carol Publishing Group, were similarly tight-lipped
about the removal of A Piece of Blue Sky from Amazon.com, declining to
provide any details about the matter.

DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER
==========
CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
Let us please be civil and as always, Caveat Lector.
