Just got my copy of "Circumcision sex god and science..."

[RighteousMartyr]

it has a purported signature... by the author... saying it was being given as a gift to a rabbi...

no idea if he knew him personally, or if Schoen sent his book out to synagogues en mass

but thought it might be note worthy.

I'm going to wait until the price goes down to $0.01 before I get a copy.

I wonder about the identity of the Rabbi, and how you came to own this book.
I can think of two ways:
1) The Rabbi is still alive, and he decided to discard the book from his personal collection. In such a case the Rabbi might not have liked the book (or circumcision, for that manner).
2) The Rabbi is deceased and you acquired the book as a result of an estate sale.

Heres a link to the picture it has the Rabbi's name and the date (2009)


For the record, I bought the book used off Amazon.

so the first possiblety is a little less likely... unless the Rabbi spent years getting around to reading the book, or maybe its had an owner or two between now and then.
