Only a few copies were released with the bibliography (pp. 399-400)
before these pages were removed by the publisher for fear of lawsuits.
If you're lucky enough to have a copy of SOTI, check where pages 399-400 should be.
You'll probably see that the page was neatly sliced out.
It is suspected that no copies of the second print survived with the bibliography intact.
If you know of a second print with the bibliography, please contact SeductionOfTheInnocent.org.
