I would tend to agree with this observation.
It seems to me one of the principal aims of these lockdowns is to restrict & fundamentally eliminate free movement even in our own countries, as well as to shut down the dissemination of ideas contrary to the current orthodoxies.

I’m with Wu Wu on this one – I also annotate some books with a light soft pencil, but for more detailed notes I tend to use a post-it tab (not the big square jobbies, but the thin strips) to mark the page and cross-referenced with my notebooks – each subject I have a serious interest in has it’s own notebook.

Interesting site – was not aware of this.
It’s US based again though, which is usually a problem as far as monstrous postage costs go. I recently bought a Ben Davidson book, thin softcover for $30. Postage cost me double that by the time all the various import taxes etc had been added. UPS really suck.

EDIT (I tried to edit the post but there was too much HTML code for my poor luddite mind)
Are all the books only available through the Evil Empire of Jeff Brazos? Amazon US costs me twice the book price in postage once my pocket gets picked by UPS and then HMRC and finaly the UK Post Office, plus I am simply not happy about spending on any…[Read more] -

I like reading – give me a good book (preferably hardcover) over digital guff any day of the week – none of which will work once the Electricity is all gone anyway!-

Many of the more recent works are available on Lulu.

I think Dr. Farrell sees a few more credits through Lulu as it doesn’t require the bezos > blue orgin > tax haven launder routine.-

Book Depository is great but I’m pretty sure the money doesn’t get back to Joseph. I use it to order older crafts books (like knitting and weaving) plus occasionally old novels we can’t find anywhere else.

Lulu orders in the UK are printed in the UK.

Which unfortunately is now treated as a foreign country – I got Microcosm and Medium from Lulu US in about a week. I may try the UK the next time but between paying in pounds and paying extra tariffs and charges I’m not sure which option is “better,” and sadly both are kind of expensive (not Joseph’s fault, he doesn’t control that part of…

Just literally stumbled across this site via a strange & rather circuitous route this morning.
I look forward to many happy (or maybe not so ‘happy’ per se) hours in this little community & hopeful that I can in my own small way make a contribution.
But first I need to find my feet here.-
Have a look at some of the recent and older News and Views on YT.
-
Also, try reading a book! https://legacy.gizadeathstar.com/purchase/
Shameless plug for reading š-

Nothing wrong with plugging books Peter, hear hear hear, plug onā¦in fact Iāll go further, I think it wise for more people to start dusting them off (or purchase some while you can) and using them and put the ādevicesā downā¦completely different understanding and experience with information, i.e., a person may actually become knowledge…

Plus you can underscore, overscore and scribble in the margins…

AAAAUUUGGGGHHHH. I put sticky notes in my books as tabs but I consider my books to be too important for me to be defacing them. I hate buying used books, often the only available, with someoneās version of āideasā written in them.

Seems like the increasing shipping-costs for books is the new addition to the censorship toolbox
-
My experience. In addition to elevated shipping costs, the books never arrive.
-
We better get those “must-haves” while we can…
-
I agree. I put together what JPF books I did not have and found it wasnāt all that easy. Best to act now.

-
Yeah, I just paid something like 70 dollars in shipping for two weaving books – I mean I got the books discounted but the shipping was outrageous and again out of the control of the author. I am starting to suspect that shipping isn’t just censorship it is also an attempt to prevent people from sending things back and forth at all – even…
