On Sept. 1, 1999 Paladin Press will take OUT-OF-PRINT their entire line of books on building homemade bombs, explosives, and improvised weapons. They will never be reprinted. They are doing this out of fear of the new Juvinial Crime Act which will criminalize the distribution of this kind of material.

Other publishers seem to be following Paladin's lead. Loompanics has ceased publshing all of their poisoning books and most explosives books.

The only book Paladin as left on building Pipe Bombs is a book titled: CAR BOMB RECOGNITION GUIDE. It has about 40 different designs. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I would suggest that you buy "The Poor Man's James Bond 1 & 2" by Kurt Saxon instead of "Ragnar's Big Book Of Homemade Weapons"...

Oh woas me While I never liked the caliber of books they sold much, they do have some goodies. I have Ragnars Big Book, and it is milidly useful, he just repackaged his other books. The Poor Man's James Bond is very good.

I'll bet the government is not calling it censorship. They are calling it a liability lawsuit. Censorship by any other name... Is still censorship.

"Advanced Anrchist Arsenal" is online at www.geocities.com/HotSprings/Oasis/7983/

I didn`t know if geocities accepts zip-files so both files are .gif, just rename to .zip
Hey #Igenx#, try your luck with this. These are pretty bad scans, the original ones are 942 kb per scan, so they were too big. Had to convert them, if you got any problems, mail me at washuux@hushmail.com , but I don`t check this account very often.

Just a thought about the page with those links on it- the background image is huge. You either need to reduce the resolution on it or shrink the it.

I've just checked out paladins website, there is no mention of any books being removed. The only book that they have removed recently (AFAIK) is "The Hitman". Whoever posted the original message, please give us a source.

Thank you for your e-mail. For various reasons--including 1) the recent
settlement of the Hit Man lawsuit against Paladin and legal precedent it has
set, and 2) ongoing efforts by the U.S. Congress to pass legislation that
will criminalize the distribution of information on explosives under certain
circumstances--Paladin has bee forced to carefully evaluate some of the
books and videos we sell. In light of the current political and legal
climate in this country, we have concluded that it is no longer feasible to
publish or sell certain titles on explosives, demolitions, improvised
weaponry, and self-defense. This has been a difficult decision to make, but
we appreciate your understanding and continued support.

Below, you'll find a list of the titles to be dropped September, 1, 1999.

Another book online. I emailed Paladin recently and I received that list, too.
Can anyone comment on the following books? Are they good or bad or would you even be so kind and scan them? Gotta order some sh*t before it`s out of print.

I just tried again to open those zipped files. No matter what I try I always get a "this is not a valid archive". What software did you use to zip the pages? WinZip just will not accep these files.

Igenx-
I used WinZip 6.3 for the archives, no idea why you got problems with it. But maybe check the filesize to be sure your download wasn`t messed up.
advaa1-20.zip/.gif should be 1591 kb
advaa21-50.zip/.gif should be 2434 kb
metbd.zip should be 1572 kb
Did you download it with "right mouse button/save link as"? Did you change .gif to .zip? I don`t know any other possible errors.

I just downloaded PKZIP. The program said that there were errors in the file.
When I opened them the majority of the pages werte there. (16 from the first), don't know how many from #2.
The middle eastern bombs file didn't work at all.

Dlwdaw, your a hero I got the latest Delta Press catalog a few days ago, they really jacked up the prices of the books that are going out of print, the same ones that Palidin is retiring. I might just have to buy a few before it's too late.

I'm scanning in ragners big book of homemade weapons (only the good stuff not the fluff) and posting it on my site "www.50megs.com/nbk2000/". Look in the heavy weapons section 'cause I've only got the mortar article posted so far. Hey dlwdaw, I have a flatbed scanner. If you would like to I could scan in your books. Send me one to start COD and I'll scan it in and send it back. Then you send another one and repeat. I have more than 50 megabytes of storage, a scanner, photoshop5, and a CD writer. If everyone scanned in (or mailed in)their books I could scan them and then I could burn CD copies to send back to everyone who sent in a book (along with their books of course). Just as hackers have "Warez", we need to have "Bookz". Thank you.

I have a few gig's of hard drive space and i think Pred might have quite a bit aswell.
I dont have any books at all though( :\ ).
When some kind of DSL service comes to my city i may start up a web server. Not sure though since i can get in trouble if all i had were illegal scans of books , hehe.
Ill just wait and see what happens about the (A)DSL.
