catalogs of the following mail-order sources of books on weaponry,
militaria, survivalism, and martial arts:

Descriptions indicate that this book is now in its 20th printing since
1971. I note that the inquiry about this comes from Canada. Certain
books sold by these dealers have been prohibited from import by Canadian
government censorship, so, if you get these firms' catalogs and want
those books, you may have to arrange something to get around these 
impositions...

The Anarchist Cookbook and other VERY strange books of this ilk are
also offered by:

	Loompanics Unlimited
	P.O. Box 264
	Mason, MI 48854

I obtained "Principia Discordia" from them, for instance.

Sorry to post 2 articles, but I just looked up the Anarchists Cookbook
in Loompanics' catalog, and found something interesting:

Loompanics includes it in their "Guerrilla Warfare" section, and it seems
to be one of the FEW books in their catalog which they claim to be anything
but the real truth on such topics as explosives, terrorism, etc.  To quote:

"Warning: This is not a good book.  Most of the 'recipes' are ripoffs, and
many of them dangerous.  Some of them are just plain absurd and stupid.  If
you try to monkey around with explosives or other devices following the
directions in this book, you are likely to blow yourself to kingdom come.
We sell the Anarchist Cookbook because of a constant demand on the part of
our customers, but in all seriousness, we cannot really recommend it"

THIS from a company which seems to be doing its level best to distribute
the most outrageous brand of survivalist / anti-establishment literature
it can, from deadly serious to totally farcical.  It is sometimes hard to
tell the difference.

		I have a friend who purchased his copy of the "Cookbook" in
		the bookstore at the Air Force Academy, of all places.  I have
		also seen it in several larger bookstores here in Dallas, so I
		imagine that most civilized places would carry it on retail
		shelves, barring some sort of government prohibition.

		It is probably more in the spirit of anarchy, however, to
		pilfer the book from some unsuspecting public library.
