Would you read these books?

@MrGomco I actually do, but I feel like I shouldn't.

@LordShadowfireI have a free PDF copy if you want to read it...

Volume I Foreword:
The title Black Medicine is a word play on "black magic." Just as white magic
does good, and black magic specializes in evil, there is a white medicine which
cures and a black kind of medical and anatomical knowledge that is used to
produce injuries and death. Black medicine is the study of the "vital points" of
human anatomy for the purpose of disrupting the structure and physiology of the
body in the most rapid and deadly manner possible.
This manual is devoted to the discussion of one hundred and seventy parts of the
human body where a minimum amount of force will produce a maximum impact
on a person's ability to fight. The study of these vital points is basic to all
branches of the martial arts. This particular discussion is oriented toward the
karate or self-defense student, the police officer, and the military combat
specialist to whom a thorough grounding in the details of human anatomy may
make a life-or-death difference someday.
There are several reasons for studying the vital points of the body. Self-defense
students, because they expect to use their skills only against high odds (or not at
all), need every advantage they can get. Karateists, with their highly developed
power and accuracy, can obtain amazing results by utilizing the vital points as
targets and therefore have a responsibility to be familiar with these weak points
of the body if only to avoid injuring their friends during practice sessions. Law
officers have a serious responsibility to study the vital points carefully because
such knowledge makes a small amount of force go a long way, minimizing cries
of "police brutality" and increasing an officer's chances of survival in the street.
Members of the armed forces, remembering some of the lessons of Viet Nam,
study the vital areas as a kind of close-quarters insurance. After all, the M-16
doesn't always fire when you want it to....
There will be some people who will suggest that the macabre material in this
manual should not be made public because of the use to which is might be put by
criminals. My reply is that they already know ... from cruel and gruesome
experience. It is the rest of us who are morally restrained from acquiring
firsthand knowledge who need instructions. To those of you who read this
manual with a sense of shock, horror, and rising nausea I dedicate this book.
Someday it may save one of your lives.

@MrGomco I'll think about it.
