Barry Krusch Posted March 19, 2012 Author Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have just added two new books by Donald Gibson, "battling Wall Street" and "Kennedy assassination cover-up". These books, long out of print, now sell for hundreds of dollars. The books have embedded indexes, if you have Adobe Acrobat X, just press "shift+ctrl+f".

Guest Robert Morrow Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Super - Keep it up! Does anyone have a copy of the "Dark Side of Lyndon Johnson" by Joachim Joesten that they would like to let Barry put online. He would have to take the binding off the pages in order to do this? This is an EXTREMELY RARE and extremely valuable book. Currently there are no copies of this book for sale at Amazon or Abe Books. http://www.amazon.com/Dark-Side-Lyndon-Baines-Johnson/dp/B0000COCJP/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332315774&sr=1-3 I have a xeroxed copy of it. I wonder if that would be convertible to PDF file. Unfortunately, I have already made some notes in it, but it is better than nothing. Folks, keep sending your RARE and VALUABLE books to Barry so the whole world can benefit from the knowledge in those books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Krusch Posted March 21, 2012 Author Share Posted March 21, 2012 Robert, send me a copy of the copy. It is better than nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Thorne Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Really great stuff! I'd thought of doing something like this a while back, but Barry's collection saves me all the time and money I would have spent on gathering a few of those titles. Thanks so much.

Barry Krusch Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 Thanks to Robert Morrow, who just donated a book worth hundreds of dollars for the purposes of residing in the archive. The hardcopy book is essentially destroyed thanks to the scanning process, but the electronic version remains intact. It is the Billy sol Estes book. Lots of valuable information there. It is also indexed, ctrl+shift+f with Acrobat X. This is the first time that someone has given me a book for these purposes, hopefully it will not be the last.

Guest Robert Morrow Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Barry, it is an incredible resource that you are building. Please folks, send Barry your high quality, extreme rare "out of print" books on the JFK assassination and deep politics in general. We are especially in need of books by Joachim Joesten. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKjoesten.htm Give them to Barry and he will make it available to EVERYONE who can use a computer. Also, reading the Billie Sol Estes book: "ctrl+shift+f with Acrobat X" and search for "Lyndon Johnson" - it is a quick and easy way to read the relevant parts of the book.

Barry Krusch Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 And someone download everything on my site and make a mirror of it. There should be multiple access points, not just my site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robert Morrow Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) And someone download everything on my site and make a mirror of it. There should be multiple access points, not just my site. JFK Researchers, please do what Barry says. I will when I get time. Also download these books ASAP. Some of them simply are not available anywhere. Chop chop - get moving - these are some extremely rare and valuable books. Here is the link for all the valuable book downloads: https://www.box.com/s/r40cn72yho05nz1i1jc4#/shared/r40cn72yho05nz1i1jc4/1/193066498 Also, please send Barry any Joachim Joesten books or other rare ones you have, so we can make them available to ALL. Here are some "used book prices" on Amazon - lowest prices: Battling Wall Street: $338 History Will Not Absolve Us: $50 Billie Sol Estes: A Texas Legend: $141 Texas in the Morning: $70 (Madeleine Duncan Brown) The Bastard Bullet: $75 False Mystery - $22 Called to Serve - $17 And we are all Mortal -Evica - $25 Oswald - Assassin or Fall Guy - $15 Cover Up by Gary Shaw - $160 Farewell America - $27 JFK researchers, what are some OTHER good books we should be targeting to preserve for posterity and researchers? Both JFK and other. We only want to do books that are out of print and the author is no longer making money off selling the book. What are some other ones YOU can contribute or suggest? For example, I can't even find a price on Amazon for "Marina Oswald" by Joachim Joesten. Ditto the critical book "The Dark Side of Lyndon Johnson" also by Joesten. I am looking for a clean copy of that one. Almost impossible to find. Edited March 23, 2012 by Robert Morrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robert Morrow Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Another one worth doing would be Dale Meyers' With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J.D. Tippit (1998) I may not agree with the premise of the book, but it has some good diagrams in the back: http://www.amazon.com/With-Malice-Harvey-Oswald-Officer/dp/0966270975/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1332470103&sr=8-1 It goes or $175 used on Amazon. It is definitely out of print and not available on Kindle. You can learn from almost every book on the JFK assassination, even the lone nutter ones. But their nutrient value might only be 1-2% vs something like 95% for LBJ: Mastermind by Phillip Nelson or JFK and the Unspeakable by James Douglass.

Karl Kinaski Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 (edited) Thx Barry Kusch. Your uploads are a real treasure. I am reading Armstrongs HARVEY AND LEE. One must not agree with his bizarre assertion (Two Ossis from childhood on...), to get some research gems out of it.

Anthony Thorne Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 The Evica AND WE ARE ALL MORTAL PDF has a couple of pages out of order. Pages 9 and 10 appear between pages 22 and 23 for some reason (possibly they were printed that way in the original book). It's not a big issue at all but I thought I'd give a heads-up for anyone reading through the file. The pages are there, you just have to scroll down to read them, then scroll back up to continue where you left off. AND WE ARE ALL MORTAL is a very solid volume and should have been kept in print - thanks again to Barry for uploading this and the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Robert Morrow Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thx Barry Kusch. Your uploads are a real treasure. I am reading Armstrongs HARVEY AND LEE. One must not agree with his bizarre assertion (Two Ossis from childhood on...), to get some research gems out of it. KK That is the best way to approach research and books in general. Some books have golden nuggets of good research in the middle of pedestrian info or even junk. I have no doubt that Armstrong is an intelligent man who honestly believes his theories. But the "Harvey and Lee" 2-Oswalds theory is one of the great canards of JFK research. I think Armstrong is good at *collecting* information, but his way of *analyzing* it is much to be desired. Armstrong said to read his chapters on 1) the rifle and 2) Mexico City. I for one, think Oswald DID indeed go to Mexico City. Where he was impersonated by someone who looked and sounded NOTHING like Oswald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Simkin Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 Here is a message from Dale K. Myers. Dear Mr. Simkin, I have been informed that a thread on the Educational Forum/JFK assassination entitled: "Out-of-print JFK Books Online" is promoting the scanning and posting of so-called "out-of-print" books in violation of numerous US copyright laws governing intellectual property. That thread is located here: http://educationforum.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=18687&st=45 The person running this illegal activity is identified as Barry Krusch, one of your forum members. The books are being illegally distributed via an account at box.com, here: https://www.box.com/s/r40cn72yho05nz1i1jc4#/shared/r40cn72yho05nz1i1jc4/1/171420215 A recent posting by Robert Morrow, another one of your forum members, encourages Mr. Krusch to illegally distribute a book I authored, entitled: "With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J.D. Tippit" which was published by Oak Cliff Press, Inc., in 1998. The title is currently out of print. Here is the relevant posting by Mr. Morrow: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted 23 March 2012 - 03:42 AM "Another one worth doing would be Dale Meyers' With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J.D. Tippit (1998) "I may not agree with the premise of the book, but it has some good diagrams in the back: http://www.amazon.co...32470103&sr=8-1 "It goes or $175 used on Amazon. It is definitely out of print and not available on Kindle..." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As you know, US copyright law protects authors and their publishers from such illegal activities for a period of the author's life plus seventy-five years. Books that are out-of-print are not in the public domain. While "With Malice" is currently out of print, the title can be reprinted at any time, which is my legal right as owner and author. I have every intention of protecting my work from the kind of ignorant and illegal activity being promoted on the Educational Forum. I am sure you are aware that you can be held personally responsible for any illegal activity that occurs as a direct result of exchanges, postings, or conversations that occur on your forum. I trust that you will take whatever steps are necessary to put an end to these discussions immediately and to inform your users of the consequences of continuing their flagrant disregard for the law as well as the intellectual property rights of others. Respectfully, /s/ Dale K. Myers Dale K. Myers Oak Cliff Press, Inc. P.O. Box 608 Milford, MI 48381-0608 cc: Howard Hertz I made the following point on 24th January 2012. Martin, I feel your pain. So I've uploaded "Bloody Treason" as well. Thanks Barry. A word of warning though: It might not be strictly legal to make and share digital copies of copyrighted material. In most cases I'm sure you'll have no problems but, as Robert pointed out, Bloody Treason is available in Kindle format and Noel Twyman might not be best pleased to find you are giving it away. The same might be true about Bob Groden's book which I'm pretty sure he's still selling himself. Just don't wanna see you get in trouble for being nice! Copyright lasts for 70 years after the death of the author. Even if the author is dead, you are likely to be in trouble with their relatives.

Anthony Thorne Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 "I have been informed that a thread on the Educational Forum/JFK assassination entitled: "Out-of-print JFK Books Online" is promoting the scanning and posting of so-called "out-of-print" books..." Dale is obviously within his rights to respond the way he has, but the 'so called' part of his above sentence made me chuckle. 'Out of print' means out of print. Regardless, I find it funny that he's freaking out about the hypothetical copying of his book when the forum member who requested it is only interested in a couple of illustrated diagrams from it. Here's a suggestion - someone redraw those diagrams and post those instead, that way Dale can keep his copyright and potentially benefit from the 50th anniversary windfall when all the lone-nutter books get reprinted next year in one big salvo to offset the arguments of those spooky conspiracy theorists. If this thread gets shut down, Barry can and should post whatever books he likes to the popular, widely used and continually active www.scribd.com document sharing site, where thousands of books are freely uploaded every day, and where they - very rarely - occasionally get taken down when an individual author or publisher goes to the trouble of asking the Scribd management to remove it. (Out-of-print books on political topics tend to be left alone on that site though - I've grabbed a bunch of stuff from there on different occasions). Scribd would be the responsible agents, not John Simkin. That noted, John has already informed his users about copyright. If this thread gets pulled Barry and the others interested in this service can take discussion of the scanned books to private message or even email, and / or start a free Blogger or Wordpress blog linking every single scanned book with titles and covers and discussion if need be.
