This title is not currently available for purchase
I've been shopping at Amazon for longer than most folks but I don't believe I've ever seen a notice such as this before.
The book is Camp of the Saints.
If you've read it you probably know that it cuts a little to close too home for some on the left. I probably should look to see if Atlas Shrugged is still available.

$9.99 on Kindle
Very strange! Why would a Kindle book be unavailable?
I’ve self-published, and if I deactivate a title or am reuploading a file, then the title is unavailable.
The publisher may have discontinued it.
Just what I was going to post. I hate to stick up for Amazon, but there’s not necessarily anything underhanded going on here.
It’s public domain and no longer published.
Free version:

However, note:
The SPLC has flagged it as a hateful racist book, so it’s likely their blacklist will increasingly limit what you can read or purchase going forward...
Douglas Murray recounts how years ago the author was asked in an interview if he still believed that a million person migration would come to Europe. He rather sheepishly admitted that he no longer thought that such a thing would actually happen. Then came 2015.
I’ve seen other books where the Kindle format hasn’t been available. You might be able to get it through inter-library loan. I checked Alibris books, and their new and used are expensive too. I also checked my book swap membership site, and they have no copies of it either.
Available from ABEbooks:
If it truly IS Public Domain, that is a publishing opportunity for somebody.
Regarding Amazon blacklisting controversial hard right content -
I just looked up Turner Diaries and saw it was for sale by 3rd parties.
Also, Matt Bracken’s Reconquista book is still available.
So, it doesn’t appear that the SPLC banned book blacklist has quite kicked in, yet.
Ooops. More than one book with that title. I don’t see how a book that recent would be public domain. You need the one by Jean Raspell.
Just checked my library-—available.
FWIW I read it several years ago and did NOT like it.
.
so... sold out or did they pull it?
Very suspicious, I agree
“look to see if Atlas Shrugged is still available.”
The book EVERY freshman should be FORCED to read !!
Hadn’t even heard of the book until it was posted here. It’s from 1973, so it was published 45 years ago. Not anything I’d be interested in reading though.
