I have the Anarchist's Cookbook because I wanted a copy and that's it. The idea that you're saving some kid from killing himself or killing another is a joke especially in an age where instructions and recipes for ANYTHING can be found on the internet. Everything from how to make an anthrax slurry to how to cook crystal meth is easily available and if one site gets shut down, 10 more go up to replace it.

The value of these sites and books as TACB is EDUCATE YOURSELF and screw all this misguided altruistic bullshit because bullshit is all it is. You can't fight a terrorist with a bomb or know when a house down the street is being used as a meth lab if you have no idea how to make a bomb or what kind of stuff is used to make a meth lab. Face it, before Boston Massacre II, would you have thought anything about seeing a guy walking around with a pressure cooker? The most altruistic thing you can do for society is to educate yourself. But if you think you're going to stop some kid from blowing himself up because you bought a copy of TACB, why even bother? My suggestion is that you can do a lot more good by reading the damn thing.
