You don't even need to read this book, just look at the world around you, you're already living it
They removed it on 4/20 -- Hitler's Birthday. 🤔
I wonder if they'll ban Children of Men next, which is basically the same story.
I'm sure r/bannedbooks will be all over sharing how to access this banned book now...
Nope, they only care about real dangerous books like the catcher in the rye
Finally got around to banning a fifty year old book, timely work boys.
I'm sure the usual gaggle of hectoring librarians will show up any minute now to decry this outrageous book burning by an international megacorporation.
Any minute now...
I'd love to wait for you but my bladder is small and that's a long wait time
Mein Kampf is, of course, still available. Because they are very confident that everyone knows it's bad.
Camp of the Saints is another story. It's too obviously true and correct. So it must be suppressed.
I don't think you can get the version without heavy editorial comments by jews
I would be very surprised if accurately translated versions were actually available in English. Perfect opportunity for revisionist history from the tribe that, well, takes every opportunity to revise history.
Is there a digital edition in its original language? Local LLMs can be great at translation.
Depends which version. Prob the Jew propaganda version.
???
Like the Jewish authored English translation?
Ah!
Pretty sure they only allow it to be sold so they can put whoever buys it on a watch list.
I've thought of this too.
They don't have Camp of the Saints (yet), but a good free speech publisher is Antelope Hill. You can find them here:

I never even heard of this book, but here’s the relative key synonyms for it. ‘Fiction” btw . Economics and displacement of native populations, along with degradation and drain on society is not real apparently and offensive, if you’re a millionaire or billionaire
Synonyms/Related Terms for the Book: Dystopian novel / Apocalyptic fiction White nationalist literature Far-right fantasy Anti-immigration fiction
The Camp of the Saints is fiction in the same way Mean Girls is fiction: It takes observable reality of certain groups (brownoids in the former, foids in the latter) and puts it in an easy-to-digest story.
It might be the only book that matters.
too on the nose in the current climate, is that the reason?
Streisand Effect engaged. Now more people will seek out copies.
Also, Amazon started out as a online book store. The fact they are now outright banning books is disgusting.
Just bought it a couple months ago, was debating whether or not to grab a physical copy, glad I did!
Amazon also banned The Manipulated Man by Esther Vilar, an anti-feminist book from the 70s which is influential on the MGTOW movement. Yet you can still buy Mystery Method and other PUA snake oil there.
Just ordered a paperback copy from Amazon.
That too, may be an explanation.
I bought this same edition from Barnes and Noble, I’m 90% sure they print to order instead of keeping them in stock. Was very good with an updated preface and note from the translator. Although I suspect they softened the language a bit; the “turd-eater” is now the “Coprophage”…not sure if this was a deliberate way to avoid anticipated controversy or a more accurate translation of the French.
