When I find many unpopped kernals, it's usually
evidence of dryness. Try a teaspoon of water
for a cup of unpopped corn. Put it in a tight
container and shake untill no wetness is visible
on the corn. Wait a few days for the water to
get more uniformly distributed within the kernals.
--Then try popping it -- much fewer unpopped kernals!
My main difficuly has been finding varieties
that taste very good.
The big problem is copyright. Every copyright since 1968 is essentially perpetual - so No Recent Works are available.
The perpetuality is due to the "Mickey Mouse Effect" - that Disney Corp has managed to get Congress to periodicly extend the date that a copyright expires - to preserve the value of their
Mickey Mouse franchise.

Its the copyright problem. Most books since 1968 are in a perpetual, non-expiring state of copyright - the "Mickey Mouse Effect".
