DID YOU KNOW THAT JOHN VIDAL'S BOOK, McLIBEL JUST CAME OUT IN AMERICA?
AND ITS EVEN BETTER THAN THE BRITISH EDITION. I KNOW BECAUSE I READ
BOTH OF THEM! (OK, I ADMIT THAT I'M KIND OF HOOKED ON THIS ISSUE...BUT
YOU GOTTA STAY INFORMED)

ANYWAY, THE AMERICAN EDITION IS PUBLISHED BY
THE NEW PRESS, AN INDEPENDENT NEW YORK PUBLISHER WHO WORKS IN THE
PUBLIC INTEREST. THE BEST THING ABOUT THE AMERICAN EDITION IS THAT IT'S
GOT NEW UP TO DATE CHAPTERS THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE BRITISH
EDITION; THERE'S A NEW CHAPTER ON THE JUDGEMENT; A DIARY OF THE TRIAL;
AN AFTERWORD BY THE McLIBEL 2! WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU GIVE OUT COPIES
OF THE AMERICAN EDITION, WHICH IS MUCH BETTER!???!!! ARE YOU GOING TO
HAVE MORE CONTESTS?

GUESS WHO'S IN THE AMERICAN EDITION; RALPH NADER, AMERICA'S MOST
FAMOUS CONSUMER ADVOCATE!!!!NO OFFENSE, BUT THIS BOOK DEFINITELY
GIVES THE BEST ACCOUNT OF THE TRIAL AND THE ISSUE; SORRY, ROBERT ALCOCK,
BUT NOT EVEN McSPOTLIGHT CAN GIVE YOU THAT. SO CHECK OUT YOUR LOCAL
MEGA-BOOKSTORE: THEY'VE GOT IT, EVEN IF YOU DON'T!!!!
