Why the author of The Anarchist Cookbook wants it taken off the shelves

"The Anarchist Cookbook should go quietly and immediately out of print,” its author William Powell told NBC news this week. “It is no longer responsible or defensible to keep it in print.” The book, first published in 1971 contains, among other things, instructions for bombmaking, sabotaging communications devices and manufacturing illegal drugs – though it also includes urban myths and, according to many, it is full of errors. It’s one thing a cookbook getting the recipe for scones wrong; something else when the “recipe” is for TNT.
