The woman who wrote had taken real pains to help find this book, but turned up only mysteries. In fact, she referred to Gordon Press as a "mysterious organization". She went on to note that the American Booksellers Handbook alerts book dealers to the many problems faced by those trying to order books from this company. money for books they never deliver. Some months later she wrote to let me know she was moving on to a new job, and had been unable to locate the book I requested. Her efforts were not wasted.
I understood that she had stumbled onto something significant. By chance, I ran across a reference to this item I was searching for in a book about survivalists titled Armed and Dangerous. It appears that phone number list there was an article by that title published in a right wing newspaper. I was curious still, but decided to give up on Gordon Press and the book, concluding that the book did not exist, only the article did.... and that Gordon Press was a crooked outfit. So, I had followed the road to the end, expecting not to give either the article or Gordon Press another thought.
Some weeks later, while visiting the public library, I noticed a new title in the 1989 Books in Print; it was a book by an author I had read previously: Richard Lamm. The title of the book is: The Immigration Time bomb: How Immigration will fragment and destroy America. Richard Lamm was the governor of Colorado about 1984 and had written a very controversial book titled Megatraumas: America at the Year 2000. In his book he analyzed very disturbing problems facing America, such as the budget deficit, illegal immigration, terrorism etc .
The primary complaint is that Gordon Press accepts
