    In 100 years time it won't matter what we've said on here.

    Unless that's "I'm going to do xyz" and xyz is the name of a death cult masquerading as religion whose initiation ceremony is to blow up a school. They might not have any active members but they sure start a lot of BOOMED threads before flouncing off.

    Will have a check when I get home
    I enter "The Upside" and see various other books listed, like The Upside Down Mountain, but not your mate's book. One can get it by typing in the full name but if it is not in the list shown when you type part of a name most people are going to conclude it is not available.

    Anyway, let me know what you find on your Kindle MS. Cheers.

    PS More importantly can't find the brilliant xoggoth Tales either. Used to be found ok.
    Will have a check when I get home - I tend to buy from the PC. I've got xoggoth tales on my Kindle, but I've got the print version of USDJ, being a pal of the author and all that.

    Of bigger concern is people who believe what scientists tell them. A lot of the stuff they post about the past is dodgy enough. But when they say "in 100 years time....". They want shooting.
