“A misguided and potentially dangerous publication which should be taken out of print”

No, that’s not a book review – it’s the author of the infamous Anarchist’s Cookbook publicly disowning his book on Amazon.

Contrary to what is the normal custom, the copyright for the book was taken out in the name of the publisher rather than the author. I did not appreciate the significance of this at the time and would only come to understand it some years later when I requested that the book be taken out of print…

Unfortunately, the book continues to be in print and with the advent of the Internet several websites dealing with it have emerged. I want to state categorically that I am not in agreement with the contents of The Anarchist Cookbook and I would be very pleased (and relieved) to see its publication discontinued.
