While stocking a book isn't an endorsement (good grief, that would be a minefield), and we will always take orders for books that aren't in stock, there are more worthy books to put on the shelf – books that don't harm communities and won't make us sad to unpack them,” a spokesperson wrote.

Even Trump wouldn’t stoop to this bullshit. This is the bottom of the pits, and it’s a goddamn bookstore. Has it not heard of literature? Has it never read about book burnings or book censorship? This is absolutely intolerable and should be picketed with noisy bullhorns (scare away the “clientele)

“More worthy books to put on the shelf.” Oh yeah, like romantic novels loaded up with rape & seduction. And best sellers written by those who just graduated from a “How to write a Novel” course at the local YMCA. Or how about all the stupid, robotic self-help and vitamin books that line the shelves. Or if you’re more high brow... your collection of true crime books...

I’ll bet you anything this standard of theirs doesn’t apply to shitty books written by shitty men, like Lolita.
