The heart of the first edition, "A Survey of Major Bookbanning Incidents," has been completely revised to provide annotated entries on the 50 most frequently challenged books for 1996 through 2000, and the Harry Potter series tops the list. Finally, all new appendixes feature an updated Office of Intellectual Freedom (OIF) list of Most Frequently Challenged Books and Authors through 2000 and a number of graphs to display key information. Since the first edition was published to acclaim and awards in 1994, librarians have relied on this work, by noted intellectual freedom authority Herbert N. Foerstel, for a thorough analysis of the current state of bookbanning in schools and public libraries and for ready reference material on major incidents, legal cases, and annotated entries on the most frequently challenged books. Libraries holding the original edition will need the revised edition in order to keep current on the issue. The work is also a rich source of information for students and others interested in the controversial issue of intellectual freedom.
