Yep, it's true. I've read HOM and it's all in there. I'm not sure if the "Church"<spit> still offers HOM for sale, but it's not difficult to find a copy in any used bookstore.

Incidentally, I think that the number of Scientology[tm] books readily available in used book stores is a very good indicator of the number of people who were lured into the cult and managed to work their way back out of it. Most true believers aren't about to sell off copies of their "sacred scriptures" for the few pennies they get for them. My copy of the "Volunteer Minister's Handbook" has a very touching inscription on the inside front cover. I don't doubt that the couple who presented the book as a Christmas gift to "Mom and Dad" back in 1978 are glad their cult days are over. I'll bet "Mom and Dad" are glad they're over, too.
