Re: LDM why you can't get it !
Greetings Joe,
My observation on Amazon still listing the book was that they "may have a few left" which is what the page claims for the book, quote
My reason for posting it at all, was for anyone desiring a copy before they disappear entirely. Amazon may not even have these four copies, who knows how often the web pages are updated for current inventories?
I have read and followed the full thread on the Olbers ship manifest, quite an interesting discussion really. My mention of Waltz country of origin on a ship manifest does not refer only to the Olbers for there are several Jacob Waltz named on several different ship manifests arriving in New York (for instance) but as far as I know, none list Prussia as his country of origin.
Mr Roberts efforts to deceive were pretty successful, but may yet backfire on him. I think Roberts contributions of false info do not include the whole of Helen Corbin's book, just a portion that can be picked out and still have an excellent book. It is still valuable to me for what it contains. Just a personal opinion.
I never understand the motives for those who pull a huge fraud; for the effort expended it seems logical that they would have profited as much or more in an honest pursuit, without the risk of legal actions.

My source for the book being removed from sale was Bob Corbin. It may very well be that they could not remove the book from stores that had purchased a number of them for stock.
I posted this message this morning on the LDM Forum for which I posted a link earlier:
[My source for Tom being the one who gave Helen the Olbers Manifest was a partner of Kraig Roberts. They led me down many a false trail. They played me like a fiddle. ops:
At this time, I have no reason for "confidentiality". Helen's source was Kraig Roberts. My source for that information was Bob Corbin, who was there with Greg and Kraig when he gave it to her. Bob gave me his permission to name him as my source in a telephone conversation this morning.
If you read back through this thread, you will be able to judge the authenticity of the manifest for yourself. In clearing up that last bit of information, I can now put the Olbers story behind me. I believe we have, pretty much debunked that "evidence" along with the Frank Alkire's story.]
That should end any speculation concerning the Olber's Manifest....but I doubt it.
Take care,
Joe
