Any chance ye could be postin the link to .pdf? Why order a free book when you can pirate it?

Well, while I don’t know if Scientologists are actually involved, they did eventually do right by me. First off, the link for the pdf did eventually work, but what’s more I got a letter apologizing for running out of stock, reminding me of the pdf, AND offering to mail me a physical copy when again available, should I still want one. I of course emailed them with a “yes” and the printed book did arrive shortly after. So they lived up to their word, I’ll give them that

Well, I gave it a shot. Not only did they NOT send me the book (claimed the promotion was too popular and they ran out of stock), but the link they sent so I could download the php version was broken.

So now the Scientologists have my email and snailmail, and I don’t even have a pulp pirate book to show for it. Drat and double!

Bilge, don’t be chicken. It should be your goal to have every obscure pirate thing on the face the Earth, so I say go for it. Then, you can write and post a review on Hubbard’s nautical works — provided you take at least one free personality test…

Don’t do it! Whatever he wrote about pirates, it’s bound to be as bad as the rest of his science fiction. I have heard / read that the only reason he stays on the best seller list (and somehow manages to keep publishing books long after his death – nice trick, that!) is that his followers buy back copies from the publishers and booksellers, thus keeping the numbers up.

As for the rest of Scientology, my rule of thumb is, “Never join a religion started by a failed science fiction writer.” I’ve seen the stuff that has leaked out of their headquarters – really, really odd.

Use your neighbors name and address or even a business address . Build a crows nest, set watch with ye looking glass, and well ye a pirate..Me thinks ye can figure it out from here.
It is a good way to avoid Tom Cruise from visiting and proselitizing you to his point of view while jumping up and down on yar couch.. Good luck ~

Hmm, sign up somebody else, and then take the booklet from them when it arrives. You can get the first book through interlibrary loan at most public libraries (if they don’t already have it).

Yup.. L Ron was a fiction writer. Ironic that so many believe that Dianetics is some how based on fact.

Hmmm. Interesting. Maybe there are also missing parts to Dianetics?
