Not surprised this one got removed. That other book mentioned sounds like a confessional, almost: the author's attempt to exorcise his demons from what he has done.
But this book encourages its readers, assuming the readers belong to its target readership, to engage in conduct which could be construed as an attempt to slip through the law and evade a deserved sentence for child rape.
I felt my gorge rise when I saw the title of the book listed in the news articles, and found myself wondering how in sanity someone could write such a book in the first place, unless he wrote it to justify child molestation. Unbelievable.
Imagine if the book had instead covered the topic of how to get away with date rape at parties, or how to get away with beating one's spouse regularly, or how to evade the law and become some sort of anti-Semitic race killer or gay basher or stalker. I doubt that any such book should remain on Amazon's shelves for long. I can't praise the gall of the man who thought to post this book on Amazon in the first place.
Nonetheless, despite its despicable content, I doubt that removing this ebook from Amazon's shelves will stamp it out of existence. From email attachments to sneakernet and passing around on memory sticks, this pernicious-sounding book will likely find itself distributed hither and yon.
And I find that thought discomfiting and sad, but for the fact that those pirated copies would not yield one penny of royalties to the author. And I can't see much wrong in that.
