John, I've got a copy of the Best of Abbie Hoffman. Give me the quote off-line and I'll try and locate it for you. When I was researching my bio of Abbie, I made it a point to check whatever library I was in to see if any of his books were there. They were often in the card catalogue but rarely on the shelves. I asked the head librarian at the Brooklyn Public Library about the missing books and he laughed and said readers took Abbie's title literally. They had to stop ordering them.
