    The book Morning of the magicians is still in print.
    The Authors are Pauwels/Bergier.  I'm sure you can order it through
    any New Age shope. If you'd like I can send you mail with the 
    address of where I found it.

    If my memory is working (it's been a good 20 years since I read the
    book), it's a book presenting the theory that extraterrestrials created
    or helped build Stonehenge, the pyramids, Easter Island statues, etc. 
    I believe it was one of the first books to put forth this theory, along
    with "proof" (photographs of what could be landing strips for
    spaceships, weights of stones used in pyramids versus technology
    available for lifting).

    Wouldn't you know...
    
    I saw it on the bookshelf at Toadstools on 101A in Milford, NH the 
    other night, but didn't have time to flip through it.
    
    Anyway, it's in print and available there, if you live nearby.

    I don't recall ever reading Chariot of the Gods, although I did see
    part of a documentary of the same name.  But, as I said, it's been a
    long time.  I'll check with my brother; he still has both books, I
    believe.

There was a copy in the New Age section in Barnes and Noble, Nashua NH USA
two nights ago.

    Although I haven't written much in this conference, I have been an
    "heavy" reader for at least the past two years and find this conference
    absolutely outstanding...
     
    I have the book at home and I'll check for you what it is all about.

The book appears to have been written in the early 60s.  I just got the book,
read it, did not see any pictures as 'proof', and am willing to sell the
book to anyone who wants it AND can get to ZKO (spitbrook).  Price negotiable;
I will say it is not worth even half of what the bookstores are selling it for.
