Some people have entirely too much time on their hands and are too petty to understand that these books were published decades ago before the dangers of asbestos were widely known. Not to mention their complete lack of knowledge that one copy of the Lettered Firestarter actually burned up in a fire, boy talk about irony.
They also don't seem to understand that used as it was in the books, any asbestos that is actually in them poses no threat as they are, as I understand it at least. From what I have been told, it is only when the asbestos containing materials are destroyed (torn apart or burned) that they present any hazard.
If I am mistaken, someone please correct me. Either way, those people still sounds like they're a bunch of asses.
