I've read plenty of thrillers that include detailed descriptions of how characters pick locks, or turn everyday objects into improvised weapons. They aren't how-to manuals, but they could certainly be described as containing clear instructions/tips for how to commit certain crimes.
I thought the problem books were extreme erotica books, ones that possibly contravened the Obscene Publications Acts.
