I had a copy of that book, I don't think I still have it. If it's not sold, would simply be pirated, and pulling it would undoubtedly make people more interested in it. Ironically, the author, by asking it be pulled is simply giving the book more publicity.
Even if the Anarchist Cookbook disappeared, there are still other sources for similar information. It had a recipe for a hallucinogenic drug made from banana peels, it was said to extract "bananadine". There's no such thing as bananadine, it first appeared as a hoax in the "Berkeley Barb". Someone using the Anarchist Cookbook as an actual manual is likely to hurt themselves.
