Review
...cover[s] many important events for those studying censorship conflicts. (School Library Journal )
...provides much food for thought plus practical explanations of the reasons for censorship problems...interesting reading... (Choice )
...ends with a strong set of conclusions... (Wilson Library Bulletin )
Recommended. (The Book Report )
It would be so very wondrous if this book became required reading for all would-be teachers, librarians, administrators, and trustees. The wisdom Burress has gained in the field has been nourished by his respect for reason and fact. Those who do read this work will find that they have a feeling of pride and worth for their profession they did not know was there before they cracked the cover. (Library Quarterly )
