I remember being mesmerised by the rant-based structure. Using the same words every time: "that the earth is not, as has hitherto been believed, a solid sphere but..." then explaining at great length what some guy said, then quoting at great length from what the guy said, and then "which shows that the earth is not, as has hitherto been believed, a solid sphere but..." And then onward to what some other guy said. That may well be the book I have at home. I remember being mesmerised by the rant-based structure.

This is where the hollow earth in the Warlord comics of the late '70s and '80s was from. Too bad Bernard died before seeing them. Then again, maybe he'd sue for using his creation. Over at the Wikipedea page they say DC and Mike Grell may try to bring back the series. Neato. This is where the hollow earth in the Warlord comics of the late ’70s and ’80s was from.

We brought it and showed it to our 8th grade science teacher. The theory is not that there's a hollow earth separate from us folks on the outside, it's that we in fact are living on the inside. @3 A friend of mine used to have this book I think.
