I never claimed the readers concerned with racism in that book were holding rallies. It's a book pretty much nobody buys, reads, or cares about--partly because a used copy costs $150 and partly because of the racism. Yet it is still a key book in a long series of them. I gave it some love, brought the cost back to this planet, footnoted the racism, and clearly identified what was changed.
As I said, people interested in the publishing house can easily find it by reading the posts in this very thread or Googling "racism in oz." I am reluctant to pin up a big banner simply because there have been some people concerned enough to post here but not concerned enough to actually read the thread--and I would prefer not to see negative book reviews from people that have not read the book.
