Elvee, Fictionwise do alert you to the fact that a book is restricted. If you click on the book title or the "read more" you will go to a screen which alerts you to the restrictions.
The following is taken from the last song by Nicholas Sparks. Not sure what the initials stand for, but you can be pretty sure that if the title is restricted, it is not available here in Australia.
