33. 1978-"Don't buy books from crooks''- Nixons' first post resignation book

Saturday

From google AI
The movement was started by Sid Kramer and Esther Flanigan, owners of the Remarkable Book Shop in Westport, Connecticut. They, along with the "Committee to Boycott Nixon's Memoirs," famously sold T-shirts bearing the slogan.

As to libraries buying books by crooks ( looking right at Haberman) IMO it is a necessary evil. They will provide guidance to future historians on the American Experience.
