The 2000 books claim - is it true?

[Walt Cakebread]

If the definition is "in relation to the assassination" then I would guess the thousands figure is likely true. Or close. That's kind of a vague definition though. Does a book on JFK's life - the Robert Dallek book for example which discusses the assassination - apply? How about a book on RFK that talks about his reaction to the assassination? What about Robert Caro's book on LBJ? He discusses the assassination and how LBJ reacted to it.

But I don't think that's what we are talking about. I would think books "only about the assassination" - English only? - are 1000 or so. But I would also guess (lotta' guessing here) that many or most were self-published or issued by small publishers and not major companies.

Amazon books has more than 50 pages with 35 books on each page under the search "JFK assassination." Some are directly about it; others less so. One is about how JFK was killed to prevent him from revealing the alien presence around us. No thanks, I'll wait for the paperback version. Maybe.

!750 books listed at Amazon....And that includes some that are pure rubbish.   So the number 1000 is probably roughly correct.

However IMO....  There are probably less than fifty books that are realistic and credible....And The Warren report is NOT one of the fifty.

Probably makes more sense than the Warren Report.

So where is the 'faction' section?

Here's an interesting google "n-gram" of how often the phrase "JFK assassination" has appeared in their database of books from 1963-2019. The 1995 spike must have been related to the Stone movie "JFK." But a cause for the latter spike around 2012 or so is a mystery to me.

Is there a particular reason for the large minus signs in some of these posts?
