I have just recieved The Anarchist Cookbook by William Powell this 
morning in the mail. I ordered it on ebay about 2 weeks ago. I have 
noticed a few things as I was going throught this book. There are alot 
of files that are the same. Some are different. But alot are EXACTLY 
the same.

I am writing this textfile to of course clear up the common 
misconception of The Anarchist Cookbook. The ORIGINAL Anarchist 
Cookbook was written in 1971, way before bbs or the internet even came 
around. It WAS NOT written by The Jolly Roger or Exodus. The Jolly 
Roger and Exodus are a couple of liers and rip offs. The Jolly Roger 
took the actual Anarchist Cookbook and copied a few of his favorite 
files into The Jolly Rogers Cookbook (aka: The Anarchist Cookbook). Or 
as I like to call it, "The Internet's Anarchist Cookbook". I have 
talked to people about The Anarchist Cookbook, and they all say the 
same thing, "Ya, I've read the Anarchist Cookbook, it's written by that 
Jolly Roger Guy right?". They don't even know that The Anarchist 
Cookbook is an actual book. They think that it is a file on the 
internet..

Here is a list of Recipes or files in the actual Anarchist Cookbook 
that appear in "The Internets Anarchist Cookbook"

Pot
Bananas
Cough Syrup
Nutmeg
Peanuts
How to Make LSD
How to make Nitroglycerin
How to make Mercury fulminate
Formulas for the straight Dynamite series
How to make TNT
How to make Picric Acid
Book Trap
Pen Trap

There are probably more but I have not gone through compleatly to be 
able to tell you.

If you have downloaded "The Anarchist Cookbook" off of the Internet, 
then you are stupid, that is not the actual Anarchist Cookbook. Go to 
www.Amazon.com and search for The Anarchist Cookbook, Buy it. You will 
see exactly what I am talking about.

Many of the Recipes in both books are the same, and very unreliable. 
The Nitroglycerin Recipe has been tested and failed many times. Same 
goes with the bananas, and Peanuts. This book is definitly ment for 
toilet reading.
