| I am ANGRY don't know if you have all seen the story about amazon selling a pedophile guide and refusing to take it down citing freedom of speech -http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40112145/?gt1=43001 I want everybody to be aware of this. I sent them an email that if it is not removed they have lost me as a customer and how they have let their customers down and how disappointed in the company I am. Just wanted to put this out there and make everyone aware. You can make your own decisions on whether or not you wish to support amazon financially.

| That is unblievable. Just because you CAN doesn't mean you SHOULD. |

| That is a good idea to e mail them that if this is not removed they will lose customers. Maybe if enough customers boycott them, they will do the right thing. |

| That's good to hear. I'm still shocked something like that would even be considered for sale on their site. It doesn't sell pornography - just the how-to guides!

| I'm glad to see it was removed, but part of me wondered if they weren't going to somehow track who purchased it.

| Yes, I got a "short and sweet" email response from amazon - Hello, This book is no longer available for sale. Thank you for your recent inquiry. Did I solve your problem? Seriously, what did they think? I am still mad they took the stance we aren't taking it down, freedom of speech. I am glad enough people stood up and said not acceptable!

| I was in disbelief when I first read that. Like there aren't enough pedophiles walking around already! How could they have possibly used the defense of free speech as a reason to carry such an outrageous "book"?

| I am very happy to see that this filth was taken down. I can not believe the authors views on Pedophilia "To tell you the truth, I don't think it is always that bad for the child, but I do think it is always confining for the adult," said Graves. That is just sick and he needs some help. On Fox News they just said that Amazon might put the book back up. |

| If they put it back up, they lose me as a customer.
