WESTON: Father of Lies taken down - copyright?

Why was Warren Weston's 'Father of Lies' (London, 1938) taken down? Was there a copyright infringement claim? If e.g. the author died by 1946 it's out of UK copyright protection anyway. Maybe Weston was even a pseudonym(?)
I find it's still on archive.org (like everything else today).

What makes you think it was taken down?

Weston / father of lies

Can't find it via search!
Either Weston or
father lies
Used to be on the site way way back, early book on New Age.
Interested because I can't find Warren Weston's dates and wonder if it was a nom de plume.

That doesn't mean it was taken down. More likely it wasn't uploaded to begin with.

I searched the old site. It's not there, nor is it on the banned list. There is a forum post though, with a ed2k link:

LOL! You have a very interesting definition of New Age.

Judging by the subject matter, I'm guessing it was the latter.

Why not upload it yourself, or paste a link to it?

Father of Lies

This seems to be a book from about 1938, as per hunting about, and the subtitle is:

The Secret Occult History, Symbolism, Ceremonies and Practices of the Jews Exposed

There is a copy you can DL here, with possible other items of interest:

http://www.thechristianidentityforum.net/index.php?/topic/23460-complete...

just do a search on that page for Weston and you'll find it.

It has no publication info, no date, edition nor publisher.
There is a table of contents but no index, if there ever was one and is 277 pages.

Hope this helps.

Later.

The book does have an Index but the pdf leaves it out just as it also leaves out the graphic of Plate XVIII between pp72 and 73.

If anyone has Weston's date of death please post it.
