What’s the most “controversial” book you’ve seen in a normie bookstore? I saw this at half priced books.

I work at a bookstore and my jaw drops anytime a male walks in. Go weeks with no males walking in the store sometimes

>thinly veiled data mining thread

Ah yes, the incredibly valuable data of unemployable millennial losers on 4chan. The advertisers are salivating over it.

Not /lit/ but there was a hardcore loli porn manga that somehow got mainstream distribution channels in Japan. You'd look at the seinen shelf and right next to "generic office romance manga" there's a title about a guy blowing loads in an 8 year old. I'm sure /a/ remembers this.

>Hitler, Churchill, and the Unnecessary War by Pat Buchanan at B&N.
>Imperium by Francis Parker Yockey, Ride the Tiger and Revolt Against the Modern World by Julius Evola at my uni
>Mein Kampf at my local library
All I can remember as of now.

Why is there a schizophrenic on this board that thinks knowing what some random anonymous losers are currently reading is some kind of massive invasion of privacy? Do you actually think they'll find out who you are and where you live by knowing what book you're currently reading? You fucking LOON.
>>
>>25498790
If at a used book store counts, I saw some Seraphim Rose and The Creature from Jekyll Island, although neither is what I would call particularly controversial.
>>
>>25498857
Uni threads were data mining. How in the world could this be datamining?

What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose his soul?

Oh, you're a fucking retard. My mistake.

You're a fucking idiot. What possible sincere use is there in knowing what book your dumbass is currently reading? Fucking idiot.

doctrine of fascism was out there in the open on sale lol

Naïve fool.

idk if it's that controversial but I went to a bookstore just today and saw a Milo Yiannonopolis book on the shelf and in the context of today I thought that was very funny

Interesting books reviewed guy gets all his schitzo books from there. Used books is cheating since any antichrist hater will have his library end up there when he ropes. Nobody will know what the fuck those books are.

No fucking way you saw imperium in the wild

>Used books is cheating
I’d make the case that for half priced and most other used book stores it’s not since it’s a corporate franchise that is captured by woke managerial interests and most other used book stores are run by leftist millennials from what I’ve seen. If it’s some thrift store or flee market find then your point would be more defensible.
>>
>>25499593
I did. Unfortunately no picture since I don't go there anymore. Based on the stamps it hadn't been borrowed since 2011ish.
>>
>>25500140
Nta but I find that even less believable. Both that nobody borrowed it since then and that it wasn’t removed after all that time. Especially at a university library.
>>
>>25500232
Believe what you want, but I'm telling you my university had a copy of Imperium. It probably just went completely under the radar since Imperium is a pretty obscure book unless you're in the weeds of extremist politics. Hence no one borrowing it and no one making a fuss to have it removed.
>>
>>25500271
It’s not that I don’t believe you I’m just commenting on the fact it seems improbable.
>>
They have Main Kampf in a lot of book shops but I honestly don't think that even really counts since most people just see it as some insane work of the past that no serious person would ever take seriously, which is correct. I saw Evola in my local book shop before though and that surprised me. That really is a hoe scaring book imo.
>>
>>25500282
My bad, I misunderstood you. You're right, it is pretty unlikely. I thought at first maybe it was another book that just happened to be called Imperium, but I opened the book and saw the dedication.

a few years ago some company did a print run of the anarchist cookbook and it was widely available in mainstream bookshops like waterstones etc. don't know if it's still there. it was briefly popular amongst conspiracy theory loonies but of course there were super edgy types who said, ah this isn't the real anarchist cookbook this is just some edited version that the evil government are allowing you to see, because they were too embarrassed to acknowledge that it's basically just a load of old shite
also i saw a copy of the tintin parody breaking free in the actual tintin section of a bookshop once. presumably it had been placed there by some dog on a string type without the shop staff's knowledge

>>25499587
mein kampf is widely available in most places. it isn't even controversial. it's a big seller here in malaysia but then this is a fucking stupid country
