Google Joins ALA and Bookstores to Promote Access to Banned Books

Inside Google Book Search Blog 
(http://www.ala.org/ala/oif/bannedbooksweek/bbwlinks/reasonsbanned.htm):

"Starting today, you can visit http://www.google.com/bannedbooks to 
explore 42 banned or challenged  
(http://www.ala.org/ala/pio/piopresskits/bbbwpresskit/bannedchallenged.htm) 
books honored by the Radcliffe Publishing Course as among the Top 100 
Novels of the 20th Century 
(http://booksearch.blogspot.com/2006/09/explore-banned-books.html).

"You can see which of these novels have been targeted for banning, find 
out where you can buy or borrow them, and check out what authors and 
critics have to say by browsing related books."
