While I understand that the library did purchase one copy from Canon
Press, I know that the second copy was a donation.
I gave the library the copy I purchased because I want everyone in the
Palouse to read Wilson's book.
While I do support Wilson's freedom of speech (as long as he doesn't
start buying and selling human beings), I also think the community
should respond with more speech. And that should be based on direct
information--like the information that can be obtained by reading that book.
If you want to know what Wilson and Wilkins think about slavery, go to
the library and read their book.

<p>While I am not opposed to a library buying any book, can they
think of something more important and meaningful to buy? I would hate
to think that we are buying garbage books when we could be using our
hard earned tax dollars to buy books that have things in them like
facts and useful information. I am also curious, is Mr. Wilson's book
under the fiction or non-fiction section?</p>
