There isn't a society today that condones pedophilia for any reason or with any extenuating circumstance. Having 'how to' books on the subject, while legal in the broad sense of the word, is in the grossest bad taste.
Should we find ourselves defending the writers of such work on the grounds of free speech, perhaps we need to ask ourselves how we will feel when we discover that our 12 year old daughter's baseball coach has been shagging more than fly balls.

No disagreement with that. But it is a slippery slope. Should books describing how to build bombs be outlawed? What about books on building nuclear devices or methods of assassinating political leaders? Again Homosexuality? Torture....
We must be a nation of Law.
