Which Way Western Man?
Re: Which Way Western Man?
I just ordered a physical copy of this book I can not wait to read it.

I read the book from cover to cover, including the footnotes, in about three weeks, highlighting sections to reread later. At my request, the administration at White Biocentrism added WGS's name in the Provenance section of the forum. WWWM? is 1,070 pages long. Each topic (thread) corresponds to a chapter in the book.
To avoid confusion between my thoughts and those of WGS', my commentary and observations, for the most part, will be place here, in this thread. In the other threads, I'll be quoting WGS. When quoting WGS in response, please remove "Dan White."
I agree, "Which Way Western Man?" is a must read for all of our people. I'm about 1/3 of the way through the book and so far this book is blowing my mind. The wisdom in it is unparalleled. I might also add that it's a pretty easy read and even though it's a bit over 1,000 pages, the book flows quickly and it doesn't take long to get through the chapters.
I think a good book to read after this one would be Francis Parker Yockey's Imperium. I happened to read Imperium before Which Way Western Man?, and I had a hard time getting through the book. Yockey's writing was much more verbose and also the concepts he discussed would have been easier to understand after reading Which Way Western Man? because William Gayley Simpson touched on a lot of the subjects Yockey wrote about in Imperium. I think I will re-read Imperium after I finish Which Way Western Man?.

Re: Which Way Western Man?
You cannot imagine what a chore this book was to edit and proofread. We were barely able to make it a paperback, due to its length. WGS has a number of archaic expressions and colloquialisms that I touched up; for example, he was in the habit of using till as a substitute for until, but since till is a word that might occur in a book like WWWM, I had to be very careful not to make global changes. Every instance of till had to be examined individually. And so it went for every other touch-up. And Dr. Pierce had given me Simpson's pages of last additions and corrections, including one instance where his revision was wrong (he'd had it right the first time). Also, I made a couple of spelling mistakes that I didn't catch in time. For example, I misspelled the name of the periodical "Instauration" somewhere. I think. Also, notice that the question mark appears in the title on the front cover, but not on the spine? I'd meant to take them both off.

I have to say you did a great job, nonetheless. Being that it was over 1000 pages in length, and without a team of editors and proofreaders that would accompany any mainstream publication of equal length, and also having to deal with Simpson's prose, a couple of mistakes are surely justifiable.David Sims wrote:You cannot imagine what a chore this book was to edit and proofread.

Ha, I just saw my copy missing the question mark on the spine, never noticed that before!
I can't imagine how long such a project took -- but I am curious, how long did it take before the first printing?

Re: Which Way Western Man?
Where did you get WWWM? for a steal, Mike? How much? There are eight used copies available on Amazon currently, ranging from $220-$441. We offered it to National Alliance members in the March 2015 BULLETIN for $40 postpaid.Mike G wrote:I just got the book in the mail today I am very happy it is brand new and I got it for a steal.

That offer is extended to non-Alliance members here at White Biocentrism for $50 postpaid. Dues-paying Alliance members are given preferential consideration on such deals in our monthly internal BULLETIN.

Re: Which Way Western Man?
I got it from Noontide Press which I imagine you are providing them with.
Re: Which Way Western Man?
I finally started this book today and am on page 93. All I can say is wow, I cannot put it down. It may take me like 10 days to read but I am very glad I decided to finally start this.

Re: Which Way Western Man?
Yes. NP sells WWWM? for $49.95 plus postage & handling, which is nearly $5, even mailing 4th Class Media Mail, because it is such a heavy book.Mike G wrote:I got it from Noontide Press which I imagine you are providing them with.
