How do I find information about a banned book, when it was banned and who had it banned?

Banned from where? A country, I would look up old newspaper articles. A school, you could write to the school and get the transcripts or notes from the school board meeting when it was decided to be banned.

In 1930, U.S. Customs confiscated copies of Voltaire's, Candide, bound for Harvard University, claiming obscenity. Voltaire's critically acclaimed satire was defended by two Harvard professors and was later admitted in a different edition. The US Post Office, in 1944, demanded the omission of Candide from a mailed Concord Books catalog. Students have the choice of writing a review, an analysis of a specific element of fiction or a biography of the author,Voltaire, and will participate in topic discussions on classroom message boards in this two-week seminar, L400 Banned Books - Candide by Voltaire.\n\nVoltaire. Candide, ou l'Optimisme (Candide, or Optimism), published anonymously in 1759, was regularly confiscated by the American postal service until the 1920s for its sexual humor and religious satire.\n\nhope these help.

Check Amazon.com.  Or if not there ebay.  If not there try just typing it in to Google.  I have never personally heard of the book so I'm not sure what the results will be.  Good Luck.

I dont think that it should be banned, even fiction has it's own lessons we can live by. I also believe some of it was actually true. I believe dan brown says some of the book was actually none-fiction and fiction. I think what we can do is, take what we can and believe in and leave the rest behind. I believe that in everything there is a symbolic message for us to understand....

Had a book called 'breaking the rules', haven't got it now. Look for it on line, a poem or two might be published on line.

Haven't read it in a while, but without having the book with me, I'd say books in general are classified information. Since nobody is allowed access to them, they are the uber-classified stuff. But hopefully someone has the book and might find a specific example.
