Description

Book-banning is an unfortunate feature of our civilization, and it's been around for quite a while. Some books generate more controversy and get banned far more than others. This collection was created to assemble them under one umbrella. This book features an introductory essay on the state of US book censorship in 2023, as well as historical context and commentary for all 32 books contained within. The titles include:

All the original formatting and indentation has been preserved: if some paragraphs seem abnormally long, that's by design. Unfortunately, due to e-book size constraints, all the original book illustrations had to be removed.
