: I have always heard the advice that you should own NO FEWER THAN three
: copies of any book you treasure:

: - One to read
: - One to load

Unlike "Bob"less books, "Revelation X" comes already fully loaded.

: - One to hide, "just in case"

: Should this rule apply any less to "Rev X"?

Even more so!

I think the proper way to determine the number of copies of "Revelation
X" you should buy can be computed by caluculating amount of money you
possess and dividing by 15 (in USA) or 18 (in Canada).

You actually do have to "load" any "Bob" surplus into your "weapon" if
you're a SubGenius still on earth after X-Day. YOU'LL KNOW WHAT THOSE TERMS
MEAN WHEN THE TIME COMES. (Hint: It has something to do with your "exit
wound", wink wink.) So you DO INDEED need at least THAT extra book. DuChez'
mistake was not a mistake per se but an unwitting prophecy.

Anyway, please keep it up.

You also need a FOURTEENTH copy to commemorate the 14 Types of Customers
discovered by Dobbs. A 15th as a doormat. A 16th to righten away thieves,
by pasting the pages up all over every doorway and window.
A 17th for good luck.
An 18th for the 18th Hole as described in Greens 97:1 of
BleedingHeadEcCLEATSIANS-for-a-head-ers-OVERDOSE 19:12.
A 19th just in case the 3rd one is needed.
A 20th and 21st for your grandmas, to honor them

And so on. Depends on just how holy you want to be. Like everything else. Ya get what ya pay for.
