Jon Atack just let us know that he’s putting out a fourth edition of his excellent book of Scientology history, Let’s sell these people a piece of blue sky. And he’s taking the opportunity to restore a missing chapter that was left out previously for legal reasons.

Over the last several months, we’ve been posting numerous FBI documents about Scientology that have been pried loose by journalist Emma Best as part of a lawsuit. She’s been kind enough to give us a crack at many of the items as they’ve come available, and that’s led to some really fun disclosures like a 1985 letter from Nibs that we got to see for the first time recently.
