Amazon announced it would fund travel for its employees to have abortions in states where it was still legal.  This prompted me to pull the book from Amazon, and it became unavailable a short time later.</p><p>After an absence of nearly four years, a number of requests to republish it prompted me to make it available again, this time through Barnes &amp; Noble.</p><p>It is identical to the 2019 version (i.e., there have been no edits or updates), except that the cost of publishing has bumped the price form $25 to $29.99.</p><p>At the moment, the book is only available in America (unless you choose to use a 3rd party shipping company), as Barnes &amp; Noble does not have the same global publishing muscle Amazon has.  However, an electronic version should be available in a couple weeks, and then, if there is still sufficient interest, it will also be published on another platform featuring global distribution.</p><p>Interested parties can purchase the book <a href="https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/as-we-are-sean-johnson/1149309650?ean=9780578565880">Here</a>.</p><p>In caritate, </p><p>Sean Johnson</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://seraphim54.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">The Seraphim is a reader-supported publication.
