There's a documentary (American Anarchist) about William Powell and Anarchist's Cookbook, his remorse for writing it and how he felt about it, absolute rubbish as he put it.
The author of this book was interviewed for a documentary. It’s kind of interesting to watch the author’s relationship to a book he wrote (I believe) in high school as a man of 66 years. Especially since he repeated tried to stop the book from being published, but couldn’t because the sold the copyright with the initial publishing deal.
