@VaylLarkinPoet I don't know any details about this book but a quick search found this link at Barnes & Noble:

I looked at a couple of local bookstores and found only used copies. It looks like Annie Blooms does sell new copies but it's currently backordered:

Hope this is helpful info!

I feel as though I'm going mad, but this is the world we live in so: Can someone please tell me that #Roots by #AlexHaley is still in print? I'm not finding new copies of it for sale, for some reason. I can get older editions used, I know. Any leads/obvious things I'm overlooking? (I'm not overlooking the racism that could leave such important work unmaintained, but I'm desperately hoping against hope).

There are several iconic works that I find myself compelled to revisit at this time of year. I first read The Autobiography of #MalcolmX: As Told to #AlexHaley when I was 14, and it changed my life. "By any means necessary" resonated more with me than "We shall overcome" as I observed the injustices around me. And the #BPP's "Power to the People" — a phrase I first encountered via #PublicEnemy, lead me to want to learn more about #BobbySeale, #HueyNewton, and the Party...
