By what arithmetic has eight weeks morphed into 90 days?
My take on censorship: it's either directed at content, which is clearly not the cases with embargoing Macmillan's books, or purveyor because of the
type of book it sells, e.g. crackpot political or religious publishers. Buying decisions which are purely economic, in this case, directling purchases with limited funds toward books that have just been published rather than two-month old ones, are not censorship. Another
I think the embargo is a poor choice but it doesn't offend me. If I were a customer of a library instituting such a ban, I might or might not send them a protest, but I wouldn't feel as if my rights had been trampled. I fail to understand why so many discussions here seem to involve a forced moral component (Censorship! It isn't fair!) about what is purely business, impersonal and amoral.
