...anyone with anything to say...even if they just want to "publish" their life story..or the life of their dog, can find a printer who will print the book for a fee...but that is NOT a "published book"!

The Neo-Nazis, the KKK...Osama Bin Laden...all of them and anyone can write a "book". But...when you venture away from your personal take on things and decide to self-publish a physics textbook..or a history book...you are a mere joke if you go the self-publishing route...because there is no peer review..you don`t need an editor, not a serious one, looking over your shoulder to make sure you know a little of what you write...the manuscript never gets sent to recognized experts in the field..usually on all sides of the issue, to see what your betters think of your "book".

Instead, like Aprim and the rest of these boy authors, you can write down whatever your grandmother or a tourist told you...and get it PRINTED...big fucking deal!!! All it is is propaganda..your own personal take on what you think happened or SHOULD have happened.

And..sure as shit, here comes Aprim to praise this effort to "publish books" that will TELL THE WORLD THE TRUTH!

Dear Ben,
I think that it is time that you go for publication. These days publication has become affordable and since Assyrians lack fair and unbiased published material, it is vital that you put this information into a book.
We need such good references about Assyrians published in books, books and more books. Please consider this request and do not put it off.
Thanks for everything,
Fred Aprim

...can you believe a guy pulling the rug out from under HIMSELF???
