With that in mind, I’d like to address all the Dopers who don’t own a full set of Cecil’s books: Fuck you, you lazy cheap bastards! Buy the damn books! What, do you think Cecil is doing this for his health? Do you think the money for this web site comes from a magic tree? Pony up the cash for God’s sake! I shall hold each and every one of you in contempt until you BUY THE FUCKING BOOKS! 🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Banger \* > \*\*Cecil’s in print now? Good for him! 🙂 \*\* Indeed! For those who know not of such things, I provide this [link.](https://securesite.chireader.com/cgi-bin/dopestore/buystuff.bat) _Triumph of the Straight Dope_ is the one we need to sell out before we get another book (IIRC). But you should own them all. After all, who are you to call yourself a Doper if you don’t own all of Cecil’s collected works? A Doper-Wannabe, that’s who. A Pretender to Dopehood. **Support Your Local Dope!** Hey, that’s not a bad name for a book. ---
