Weird Tract Number 19: "Earth According to the Word of God" by an Anonymous Flat Earther

Troy Davis write:

flat earth tract crackpot

This is one of my favorite items from The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts. I picked up this anonymous undated four-page screed by an anonymous flat earther in Los Angeles  around 2006 (I think it was on the free lit rack at a store on Melrose Avenue). The image on the cover (click to enlarge) reflects the author's esoteric flat-earth cosmology. Some insights from the tract:

". . . Earth does not rotate!"
". . . [T]he Solar System simply proves to be nothing but science fiction."
". . . "Earth does not move!"
