The Brand Book is I believe still out of print. It is called The Life and
Death of Anna Mae Aquash. Originally I was gonna try to convince Brand to
let me publish a copy under a protective but "Free to copy" copyright. I
got so far as to talk with Ms. Brand (long distance to Canada) once and typing
in my own personal copy before pooping out on the deal, chiefly because there
were too many other things going on at the time, and it looked like the
Matthiessen book would be back out soon. I still have my personal unauthorized
copy, but it is probably not legal to give it to others. A major University
would probably have the book in stalk, unless the FBI already took it. Even
though the Brand book may not be as nicely written as Peter's, it is much
shorter and therefore wouldn't scare as many folks away from reading it. I'd
like to see Brand formally re-publish her book now, as I believe she told me
it would be easier to get it back out after Peter's book was re-released. I'll
have to give the publisher a call some day soon (can't think of them off the
top of my head...Here it is: James Lorimer & Company, Publishers, Toronto 1978.
