Is the improvised munitions handbook worth buying from sportsman's guide?

Is the improvised munitions handbook worth buying from sportsman's guide? Or has it been scrubbed of all the useful information?
It seems to be 5 pages short compared to PDFs available online.

And before someone says it, yes I know I could print out and bind the PDFs but those wouldn't be as quality or as rugged as a properly made handbook

    Depends entirely on how much care you put into making it yourself, print it on nice paper and have it bound at an office supply store and it will be just as nice as the real deal.
    I couldn't tell you if anything has been scrubbed or not, sorry.

    Back when I was in high school my dad bought me that and IIRC it has everything that I've seen in the PDFs. If you want the book in print then print a PDF and put the pages in protecters in a binder.

      Yes I know I could bind and laminate them myself, but I of course don't have the materials to do any of that here, and after buying all that or going to staples and having them do it I'd be spending twice as much versus buying the book from sportsman's guide, especially if I have the prints done in a reasonable not A4 huge size and in good quality for the smaller page size

      Also the sportsman's guide version is going to have

        So why don't you buy the book from Sportsman's, compare it with the online version to check if it has the pages you want, and if it doesn't, print them out and tuck them into your Sportsman's copy. It's all of FIVE fricking pages, anon...

    Look around for small surplus stores/websites to find hard copies, and don't fricking use the .pdf for fricks sake.

      This. I bought mine from a local milsurp store years ago when I was in high school. Throw them some business rather than SG.

      I'll check around surp stores, although there are (were?) Like 3 surp stores near me, all owned by one Chinese family selling fake Vietnam vet patches and knockoff stuff that even rothco would be embarrassed of
      I'm not sure if they would have something like that or if they are even still open, last time I went to them was years ago

      I figure my best bet would be at gun shows but my area has like 2 gun shows a year and they don't get advertised so I only hear about them off a flyer 2 weeks after it's happened.

      Since no one else on /k/ will mention it, have you considered not getting it. The book is old and unless you live near a pre-1980's hardware or photography shop, you'll have trouble sourcing the listed materials.

      I figure it'd be cool to have for SHTF or something like that, plus there are other technical manuals that seem to have interesting info, like one on rigging knots, one on Booby traps, and a general survival guide, I'm sure the info in those holds up alot better

        Well, then you're fricked. You either learn to make what you need with other processes, or you give up.

        Where I reside, nitric acid is restricted. So I just buy KNO3 and sulfuric acid and distill the nitric off that mix.

    I dunno, but ever since looking up that book and the Ted Kazinsky Manifesto, every item that I put on my ebay watchlist mysteriously winds up as a thread on /k/, with the OP insisting that we tell them what illegal things we can do with said items.
    Examples:
    Watch Baofeng
    >Hey guise how to encrypt radio transmissions?
    Watch DJI Mavic Drone
    >Hey guise! How do we weaponize it?
    Watch machete
    >My gun is bettur than your machete.
    Watch TT-33 Grips/Compensator/Laser
    >Lets talk about how the TT-33 can punch through kevlar guys!

    I mean, we all have similar interests here at /k/, but I get the VERY distinct feeling that someone at a branch of the government that has some combination of the words "Department" "Homeland" "Federal" or "Bureau" in its name has taken notice and is paying close attention to my online activities. So I think it is more than fair to say that this thread in particular glows in the dark.

      What if I told you that PrepHole and ebay (and most of the internet) run the same google javascript which can log keystrokes and interactions to better sell you shit.

      Well, the opposite is true. PrepHole could look at that google data (if they pay for it), and autopost threads which their data thinks will keep you engaged.

      Then consider that you can't easily check that your catalog (bump order for example) is exactly the same as mine, and ponder those implications in regard to opinion shaping. Spoopy.
