I bought two copies of UC when it first came out, after I read it, I passed it around to friends.
I only know where one of the copies is now, but that's OK, 'cause wherever the other one is, it must be doing some good!

What are the odds of it ever becoming a movie and if so, what are the odds of the filmmaker sticking to the book?
I'm thinking it would be rewritten something along the lines "Crazy militia attacks law abiding, freedom loving Feds."

OK, now I've got to read it.
Any tips or hints before I get started?
Things to look for or pay special attention to?
How 'bout where I can get a copy?

There was a hard-bound edition that Princeton owned that he loaned to me on the condition that as soon as I am finished, I will loan it to another member. I really wonder what happened to the book and who has it now..

I have lent my copy to several friends and even reread UC a couple times. I best advise is as soon as you finish the book reread it. Aww the powers of shot placement.~~.22 short.

I found this site looking for the book...
I sure hope this is what you are looking for.

Some of the other pages were decidedly different.

I've read my copy several times over the past few years, and have done several other things to expose it to others:
1. I teach American Government part-time at a local college, and I've put UC on my approved reading list for reports, etc...
2. I decided that, instead of spending money on parties and such during the holiday season, I would buy five copies of UC and give them to both "gun people" and others who I know would at least give consideration to the content as well as the story. I think that Borders may start stocking it locally in as much as I order it to the extent that I do. Have done this for two seasons now, for nine total books (I kept one as a spare and loaner): 2 teachers, one gun store owner, 2 attornies (one a shooter, one not), one trauma surgeon, one commercial artist who had been a liberal until caught up in the LA riots a few years back, two to public libraries (one other wouldn't take it).
3. I talk about the book with others, both publicly and privately.

I've bought three copies so far. Two have been 'touring' the US via the 'Please pass it on when you're finished' network for over two years. No idea where they are and what they've seen. As far as the last one, it's somewhere here in county. Hopefully it will continue the local circuit until the hogs are sated.

Time to purchase another copy. I trying to get UC into the Top Ten Best Sellers Ever list!

If I had not given it away, I would have thrown it away.
