Alright, fine, the book itself isn't evil, but the ideas it contained were dangerous and ultimately very harmful, and that makes the book dangerous.

But I suppose I could argue that a book on it's own is harmful or dangerous. No one is going to argue that a gun when used for it's intended purpose is dangerous and will cause harm. Mein Kampf was written with one purpose in mind. To disseminate ideals of hatred. So I suppose when you take into account the intent of the book then yes you could say it is evil or dangerous.

There are a lot of books about racism, but for the most part the ones I'd consider to be not evil or dangerous are written ABOUT racism, as a means to analyze or document it. Mein Kampf was written to perpetuate and validate it, something that I'm sure a lot of people would agree is evil.
