Banned Reference Books
Posted by: Sue Polanka

All the Banned Books Week talk makes me wonder if any reference titles have been challenged or banned.  Rolf Janke from Sage Reference said the 2002 Encyclopedia of Terrorism, Edited by Kushner was on the list when it was first published.  I noticed a variety of Joy of Sex titles on lists as well.  I’ve also heard rumors of ME Sharpe’s Encyclopedia of Swearing and some DK how to books making it as well .  I’m curious what others have been banned or challenged.  Do you know of any?
