The absence of the insufficiently heralded "The Book of the SubGenius
: The Sacred Teachings of J.R. 'Bob' Dobbs" (http://tinyurl.com/5r48bp
) was expected, but you with the exception of the book above, you
don't get much more cult, i.e. people passing "The Book" around a
small circle of friends than "The Illuminatus Trilogoy,"
http://tinyurl.com/4ud4hc .

By the way, IMO The Book of the SubGenius is worth the purchase for
the illustrations alone.
