They&#x27;re using &quot;ban a book&quot; to elicit a specific response here. Look; a publisher has the right to publish or not any work they wish for any reason they wish.<p>If the publisher had turned around and tried to stop the author from publishing this themselves (via indie routes) or going to another publisher, sure, I&#x27;d agree that that would be akin to trying to &quot;ban&quot; something.<p>But the reality is here that the publisher just opted out of publishing this specific works, as is their right. Sorry, author, but you sound bitter. Move on.
