It’s a very easily available book. If your library doesn’t have it, ask about the Interlibrary Loan program. Most libraries have Interlibrary Loan now. But as cheap and widespread as it is, why not just buy a new or used copy online?

If you can’t find it at your local library, I can almost guarantee you’ll be able to find a text document or .pdf of it online somewhere.

I could be, depending on what part of the country you are in. You better bet would be to find a site online

It wasn’t in my public library but you can find it online.
But really the page on wikipedia sums it up pretty much over all imo.

Beware, the only thing you will accomplish is opening the door for the devil to be able to "legally" oppress you. The Bible is your "human" owners manuel. Study The Bible, and you will see what I mean. If you want to study the other afterwords, then you will have "protection" from deception.

Good luck trying to find it at the public library! Ha!
Try an occult shop, or under New Age at a book store. Although why they call pagans, witches or any other "New Age" is beyond me, we were here first!

I would avoid anything to do with Satanism – it really does mess with your mind. Just the intention is a real bad idea. I would say this to you even if you were 40!
Curiosity killed the cat!

The so-called "satanic bible" was written by the charlatan, Anton LeVay and is just like scientology in that it was written to make the author money.
I’m sure that satan got a hearty laugh out of both books.

They should have it at your library, or if not it is readily available at many places. My sisters boyfriend bought it at Meijer’s lol

buy it online or the bookstore, it is cheap, and it is the best book ever. It is a religion of reality, not stupidity like other bibles

Most public libraries probably wouldn’t carry it, but if you’re really interested in it, try looking at Hastings, or Barnes and Nobles. I know it sounds weird, but I’m certain they carry it, or would be able to order it in for you. Don’t let anyone tell you that you’ll go to hell or something for reading this book, it is just a book. Research and study, to open your mind to understand people and beliefs better should never be looked down on.

If they do have it it will be in the occult section of the stacks. Otherwise you would have to try and find a PDF file online or go to a book store and find it.
Despite what the few christian nuts who answered you have to say there are plenty of people myself included who are not Satanist but have the book simply because its a fairly interesting read.
Of course if any of these dips knew anything, people who followed Levay or are members of the his church would know they don’t actually worship Satan. They just believe in living life for themselves first everyone and everything else last.

the Satanic bible was written by some Jew, and it is not mainstream Satanism.
Satan would most likely laugh his ass off at this

About 500 libraries worldwide own Anton LeVey’s Satanic Bible – most of them are in larger cities. The copy I see cataloged is a paperback published in 1969 so there is an extreme possibility that any library copy has been trashed by age and use.
You might be able to borrow it through interlibrary loan and you might not if everyone’s copy is trashed or missing.
Here’s the wikipedia on the author: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anton_LaVey
To help decide if he was a crook or actually believed this stuff you should visit a few of the links at the bottom.
Personal opinion, there are a lot more crooks making big names for themselves writing books on religion than simple believers hoping to help you out. I’d say Levey was a crook. Follow the money.
