The author was told the the book was removed for violating Amazon's guidelines for content in book titles, but those guidelines don't say what is and isn't allowed.

It is naive to expect Amazon to give a list of the exact things you can't put in book titles/descriptions/etc.
This would simply lead to the situation today with spam emails, where they purposefully omit the key words and use alternate options to avoid spam filters, i.e. \/iagra instead of Viagra and Cia|is instead of Cialis.
There's no point in having filters if you tell everyone how to avoid them.
