“I'm going to read I'm going to read the text. The poor man's James Bond is the undisputed leader in the field of books on improvised weaponry and do-it-yourself mayhem. It gives full and simple instructions for making tear gas, explosives, firearms, silencers, poisons, zip guns, grenades, knockout drops, flamethrowers, and a wide variety of weapons.”
Discussed
“The only complaint I have is of the poor man's James Bond. You didn't have a section on establishing a new identity. A few paragraphs would have done. This is the popular rage. Visit a graveyard. Take along a pencil and paper.”
Discussed
“Dear Kurt, I have made two batches of your acryine tear gases described in the poor man's James Bond, and neither has retained its potency. Am I doing something wrong? It's fantastic stuff when it's fresh.”
Discussed
“Oh, here's another letter section. Let's see if we can find another guy who's absolutely committing horrible crimes. I really enjoyed your book, The Poor Man, James Bond. In your poison section, you should list a different source of nicotine sulfate.”
