Actually gave up looking, and just copied my buddies. Along with the McGyver handbook.

There is, or shouldn't be, anything wrong with publishing or selling the book as long as it doesn't include kiddie porn. Still, it doesn't mean that possesing it shouldn't constitute a parole violation or be taken into evidence in a fresh case. Honestly its not only Unconstitutional, but stupid to ban it. If you do that, the author will just post it online and you'll never find out who owns it. Let him publish and you can supenoa the sales records as needed.

FQ, when you say  "include kiddie porn", you mean photos of underage youngsters correct?  Not written passages describing events with underage youngsters?

Bond set in Fla. for author of pedophile guide

BARTOW, Fla. – A judge set bail at $15,000 Wednesday for a Colorado man who wrote a how-to guide for pedophiles.

Phillip Greaves of Pueblo is charged with violating the state's obscenity law, a third-degree felony that could land him in prison for five years.

The 47-year-old was arrested Monday in Colorado, but Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd claims jurisdiction in the case because Greaves sold and mailed a copy of his book to undercover deputies in Florida who had requested a copy.

Court-appointed public defender Francis Solorzano, assigned because Greaves could not afford an attorney, first asked Judge John Kirkland to drop the case.

"Any finding of probable cause would tend to have a chilling effect on free speech," Solorzano said. "What we're dealing here is mere words. There are no images in the book."

But Kirkland said the judge who signed the arrest warrant had already found probable cause and he could not override that decision.

The self-published book — "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover's Code of Conduct" — caused a flap when it showed up on Amazon in November. It was later removed from the site.

Greaves, who has no criminal record, writes in the book that pedophiles are misunderstood, as the word literally means to love a child. He adds it is only a crime to act on sexual impulses toward children, and offers advice that purportedly allows pedophiles to abide by the law.

Judd said he was incensed when he heard about the book and that no one had arrested Greaves for selling it. The book, Judd said, included first-person descriptions of sexual encounters, purportedly written from a child's point of view.

He is charged under Florida's obscenity law, which prohibits the "distribution of obscene material depicting minors engaged in conduct harmful to minors."

This case is a waste of money, but what politician/judge cares as long as they can grab a headline? . Kiddie porn (meaning pictures) is illegal because it victimizes the "models" who aren't old enought to consent. However the Court ruled that computer generated images of kids having sex were protected as it was just speech and no child was harmed. Likewise, "barely legal" porn and those uber creepy kiddie beauty pagents that sexualize six year olds (think jon Benne Ramsey) are all protected. The guy is a douche bag, but prose is protected, unless they can prove it described an actual event. Its why every book on "how to commit terrorism/kill the president/turn your mini-14 full auto, is protected.

I don't know how I missed this thread the first go around. What a disgusting POS this goon is.
I bet he's a charter member of NAMBLA.

FQ - the case may not obtain a prosecution but if the guy is jailed, we can all hope the general population will take care of the matter.

Re: the original post, at least Amazon removed it from their site.

One hopes the 'advice' is to lay down on a railroad track and wait for the 5:15 to come rolling through!
