    About this ebook

    There are lots of reasons why books are banned, like being perceived as obscene, applying to books about sexuality, race, drugs, or social standing. Goverments do attempt to ban particular books that it thinks may threaten, embarrass, or that criticizes it.

    This book lists books, categorized alphabetically, that were banned, and the majority of these remain banned today. It includes their illustrated covers and descriptions, with the reason for a ban.
