The book Steal This Book was written by Abbie Hoffman in 1970. It includes advice on such topics as growing marijuana, how to obtain free food by overlooked avenues and theft, starting a pirate radio station, living in a commune, preparing a legal defense, making pipe bombs, and obtaining a free buffalo from the US Department of the Interior.
It also contains an appendix consisting of guidebooks to the counterculture scene in several major American cities.
As the book ages, some of its contents become less revelant. Many of the ideas presented by Hoffman are no longer possible, and the book contains many companies, phone numbers, addresses, etc. which now either are out of date or no longer exist.
It is also filled with Hoffman's political views: "Avoid all needle drugs--the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon."
