Most of the IMH has been typed in and posted on various BBS's - don't know of a FTP site for it though... IMH was originally a gvmt publication, and it's been reprinted by several of the R-wing paramilitary publisers (paladine press, desert publications, etc.) it has a ISBN number, can be found, and ordered via Books in print, however will be confiscated by customs at the canadian border as that sort of thing is contraban in canada - I don't know about england... For the address of some of the paramilitary publishers, and reviews of some of these books get a copy of the rec.pyrotechnics FAQ sheet. This includes pointers to FTP sites that have some online "bomb books"... btw: IMH is considered one of the more acurate, and safer books of this kind. The anarchist cookbook is generaly considered the most dangerous book to the prostective "kitchen chemist" in print... hope that helps ps: rec.pyrotechnics has posts of this type of formula all the time, and ANY decent library will have books on explosives. Older High School chem texts have recipies, and a good encyclopedia wil at least tell you how to make black powder. police bomb disposal, and pyrotechnics books are also good sources, as are theatrical special effect books. This type of info is widely available to anyone, anywhere! this court case is obviously pure harrasment.
