Print books have been bowdlerized for centuries. The word comes from Thomas Bowdler who created The Family Shakespeare in which he rewrote the Shakespeare plays to remove all the words he thought women and children shouldn't be reading.

Recently a publisher reported that they were publishing a copy of Mark Twain's Huck Finn with all the n-words removed.
