Author Offers Rebate for Destroying Competitor’s Books
Torn Covers to Provide Proof
Winnetka, CA, October 4, 2008 – Bob Oedy is an author on a mission to rid the world of
organizing books that provide no real world solutions. He offers a $10 rebate for the destruction of any competitor’s book to be used toward the purchase of his own book Bigger Labor; A Crash Course for Construction Union Organizers. All buyers need to do to receive the rebate is tear the cover off of any union organizing book and mail it in. The rebate offer is limited to one cover per copy purchased and represents a 50% discount off the retail price.
Oedy decided to write his own book on the subject of construction organizing after an extensive search yielded disappointing results. “Nearly all of the books on organizing are not written by organizers” says Oedy. “This has always bothered me.” “Why should any organizer listen to an author with no practical experience signing contractors or attracting members?” Either you have experience or you don’t. It’s just that simple.
Oedy plans to display the torn covers he receives on a wall in his home office. “I’ve saved this place for them”, he says, pointing to blank area of a wall covered in Labor posters collected through years of activism. “If necessary I’ll take down photos to make room.”

i am a union member and i am 100% behind any legit effort to organize the work force. however i cannot support destroying books, no matter the content/author.
I get the authors point, and i agree up to the point of destroying books.
nazis and taliban destroy books.
a better idea would be to gather all the books on organizing together, study them all, just to make sure you have not missed anything, write a new book or a series in which you give credit for intelligent real world ideas, and discredit the the bad with facts, figures, and credible references.
