"My Life With Charles Manson" written by Paul Watkins.
Paul Watkins was one of the members of the "illustrious" 'Manson Family'. Whether you believe that this group of people were a cult or not, the criminology and psychology behind the Tate-LaBianca murders has fascinated people to no end. Paul claims in the book to have been 'Manson's right had man', and describes his time with the group. There really isn't much written on the crime aspect in this book, but it does provide an interesting perspective that I hadn't seen in other pieces of literature which came from other members.
Paul passed away from cancer at the young age of 40, in 1990. After his death, the book entered some sort of unknown copyright void, where I still have no idea who owns it to this day. There is only this one printing of the book, from what I understand, and even after reading the material in 2021, I still have no idea about the book's status.
I was able to find a copy of it on ebay for 100 dollars, which was cheap in my eyes for such a rare book. Even better that it was still intact. I took the liberty to scan it, and uploaded it onto Archive. org. It is in a zip file, and the pages are scanned as jpegs. I did not compile it into a PDF, though if you are up to it, feel free to do so. It's half a gig, so kind of large. Sorry.
