'''''The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure: a Child-lover’s Code of Conduct''''' is a controversial book on the topic of [[paedophilia]] by Philip R. Greaves II. The book, which presents a sympathetic view of paedophiles and offers its readers advice on how to avoid getting in trouble with the law, was banned by [[Amazon.com|Amazon]] in 2010. Its United States store had previously offered the book as a [[Kindle]] [[ebook]] download for $4.79. Readers threatened to boycott Amazon over its selling of the book, which was described by critics as a "paedophile guide". Amazon initially refused to ban the book, saying that the site "believes it is censorship not to sell certain books simply because we or others believe their message is objectionable"<ref name="sanfran">{{cite web|url=http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2010/11/11/businessinsider-amazon-caves-pedophile-guide-pulled-from-the-kindle-store-2010-11.DTL#ixzz14z2BGJUn|title=
