Regarding Black Mass Volume III - making money from the book is cool and badass. However, we are aware pricing isn't the same globally. In some countries, such as Brazil and India, the pricing is outrageously high.

We encourage our friends in countries where the price is high to use the free PDF, go to some printing store, and make a physical copy yourself. Alternatively, if you're someone who simply cannot afford the $13.37, then print it yourself too. Do whatever you gotta do, fam.

Fuck tariffs and fuck import taxes and fuck import "fees". Information and educational content for free and for everyone, always.

Enjoy the stuff. We have more stuff coming (eventually).

Thank you for the love and support.
