Isn't it illegal to write books like this? Assisting in helping others break the law? Regardless of whether or not you defend their right to free speech, to write such a distasteful book, I think this would fall under helping others break the law. Wouldn't it?

It really depends on where you are. I think it differs between countries, and the US seems to be really big on individual state laws. And sometimes there are really irritating loopholes (no matter where you're talking about).
I think it might be illegal here, but I'm not 100% sure on that either.
