Book Reviews of The Poor Man's James Bond (vol. 1)
Book Review: Technical but good
Summary: 4 Stars
My husband asked me if I still had a copy of the Anarchist's Cookbook and I couldn't find it, so I asked him what he was interested in about it so I could offer better alternatives. He was interested in improvised munitions for a game he was working on. After some research and reading the other reviews, I settled on this book.
It's a good one. It gets really technical in spots, and the author really wants to share his political and social viewpoints which I'm not crazy about, but the information seems very solid for what we are doing with it. I do agree with my husband though, I wish very much that the political/social commentary was in a different font or color so you could skip those parts.
Book Review: Scary
Summary: 2 Stars
I received this book and quickly started an interesting read. It starts with a very specific warning to read the whole book, and don't start messing around with some of the things explained until you HAVE read the whole thing. I agree.
I think I expected a different content. you get detailed explanations about how to make many weapons; pyrotechnic, guns, poison etc. etc.
I guess I thought this book was a manual of how to do constructive, positive/fun things. What I got was a detailed manual how to be an assassin, or social deviant/anarchist. I didn't like it, and wish I could strike it from my "items bought" list!
I'll sell it to you if you want it.
Enjoy
Book Review: Surivial Handbook or Mainstream Anarchist Cookbook
Summary: 4 Stars
There is a storm of contraversity reagarding this book. Kurt Saxon is well known survivalist whose work is sometimes misunderstood as guide to terrorism, but in fact the book deals with broader subjects of how to survive if civilization collapse. The majority of the work should be required reading for people is high risk weather areas. Very few people would know how to survive for prolonged period without electricity or how to perserve food. With El Nino, Asteroids, and earthquake, this book may be the most valuable book you'll ever own.Book Review: It's definitely a conversation piece
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great compilation of different manuals/handbooks. You can probably find most of the content in this book for free, but it's nice to have it all in one book. Most of the book is eaten up by pyrotechnics, but the end gets into hand-to-hand combat, and there is a very scary section on poisons. I keep it on the coffee table as a conversation piece. Overall is it packed with information and quite eye opening on how impossible it must be to control trained operatives. It's worth picking up.Book Review: A bit of a concern
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a bit concerned about buying a book that falls in the same category as the Anarchist cookbook. Books like that are a red flag for any one who purchases them, and should be advised that the content in this book may or may not be legal in your country, state, or county. Theres a video online, and before I could even watched it, turned it off because I'm not to keen on "anarchist" type activities. This book is practically the same as the "cook books" with a different title.
