This has caused quite a stir over the past few days. Amazon.com's had to remove a book titled "The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure: A Child-Lover's Code of Conduct" because of (expected and quite justified) widespread outrage. Mostly moms and various alarmists.

This brings up a more interesting point: the ease with which Amazon.com can recall books and dissolve all traces of it. Kind of hard to do with print copies.

This definitely raises a lot of important questions about censorship, self-publishing, and the sale of books that advocate criminal activity. I am usually not an advocate of censorship, but I must say that I do draw the line on advocating criminal acts, especially something as utterly heinous as this.
