It would be interesting to see the original. I’ve always heard of it
but never actually seen it.

I had the Jolly Roger version. It was informative for making phreaking
boxes. It was amusing to read the dumb shit kids wrote for it [anarchy
in McDonald's, anyone?] and then there was a lot of useless crap and
stuff that only an idiot would play with [though who *didn't* want to
make thermite and watch it burn through metal?!]

The book from the 70's? I recall being at a party back in about 2002
and seeing it on a the coffee table. I perused some of the intro pages
which spoke of past revolutions, but didn't look at the recipes and
stuff as I was tripping balls and some girls started repeatedly saying
my name. Apparently they were both hallucinating that my face was
changing. Sorry, my story went off the rails there, but it's an
amusing memory...

Oh yeah I remember me and my friends poring over the "Jolly Roger"
cookbook.  We even were printing the thing out at school, somehow we
had it printing in tiny text with multiple pages per sheet, so we
weren't using hundreds of sheets

Funny to think in hindsight that we were printing out bomb
instructions in school.   Different world back then!

I believe there's a part of the BBS Documentary that talks about it
too. I don't recall which portion it's been about 10 years since I've
watched it.

I used to have a physical copy, but no idea what happened to it. A
friend and I got out hands on some of the Poor Man's James Bond books
as well... Good times.
