In a previous life 25 years ago I heard about this book, but had not remembered it until your post. A bit of googling today produced this:
Exceptionally Rare 1st Edition: Earth, Universe, Cosmos. An Inquest into Our Creeds, University of Tasmania, Hobart, 1996 - S. Warren Carey (anticariataleph.ro)
In short, the relevant section is:
"Both 1996 and 2000 editions of this book are extremely rare. We found only four copies of Earth, Universe and Cosmos located at: Canberra - National Library of Australia (2 copies: 1996, 2000) Hobart - University of Tasmania Library (1996 edition), and Our copy. In our opinion, the entire print run of these editions was bought by someone after a rather short interval of time from the appearance, and then he/she destroyed it.
Earth, Universe, Cosmos by S. Warren Carey, probably shared the same fate as the 'heretical' Gospel According to Seneca (1988) by Livio Stecchini: https://saturniancosmology.org/files/www.metrum.org/gosen/index.htm See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Othb0xsvZb4 Earth, Universe, Cosmos by S. Warren Carey, 1st Edition, 1996, University of Tasmania, Geology Department, Hobart; p. xiii, 232 : 127 figs., 2 Appendix, references, index; 29 cm. Soft covers. Fine condition. Price USD 800,000.00"
It must have offended someone. I wonder if any of the crazy greenies who annoy on this thread can shed any light.
Bloody hell: $800,000!
