Many fiction books and older versions. some of them are the biographies.

I searched the Charlotte Mecklenburg Library system online. Total LRH titles 8. Only 2 of them were Scientology (Dianetics actually) and the rest were fiction books. Lawrence Writes book is in stock though!

I recommend it, even though my $400 mill may be 30% over the actual scam…..relax, it was only $300 mill!

It pretty much corroborates your observations. It’s on ESMB. http://www.forum.exscn.net/showthread.php?8434-Basics-Books-Bonza-Buggerup.

We think it was in the vicinity of a $400 mill scam.

(VÖBB = Verbund öffentlicher Bibliotheken Berlins, meaning something like “Liason of Berlin Libraries”)
Searching for “Dianetics”: 7 items, one DMSMH, the other 6 Anti-Dn/Scient.-items.
Searching for “Ron Hubbard”: 27 items, some of them referring to another “Hubbard”, but not LRH.
Those I could recognize as Scientology-Material from LRH were: 1 DMSMH, 1 Personality-Test and 1 copy of Battlefield Earth.
Searching for “Scientology”: 167 items found. 2 x DMSMH, 1 Magazin of the COS Berlin

Maybe Tommy and Jessica Davis have been going around to the libraries there and doing PR handlings on them (NOT)

I live in Austin too and just checked the online library system database. There are 60 items listed for
‘Scientology,’ 46 which are book ( the rest are e books, audiobooks and dvds). I’d say
80% are church publications, many are in Spanish. Seems like Austin is better covered than many cities.

Note: There are 120 listings online for Scientology, most of which are books by Hubbard. However, all major critical books are in the LA County libraries as well, e.g. Madman or Messiah, etc. It is worth noting that the ninth season of South Park is available under the “Scientology.”

Having lived in Los Angeles for my entire life, I can say that Scientology books have been on the shelves for decades. Scientology books are also regularly sold for a few dollars at LA County library sales at all branches. It seems that the Cult donates a steady supply to LA County libraries as copies are sold off with thousands of other books.

Also, “Situation” is defined here as “The most major departure from the Ideal Scene”.
