Erotica, is part of the literature in the United States. I think if you do
what Cindy has suggested, and mark adult and also put in the long synopsis
you will be fine.
There are many things in this world, that exist even if people want to talk
about them or not. Cult practices, Female mutilation and others, should not
be hiding, after all if it is not discussed it won't be taken care of. The
old Ostrich in the sand. So submit it with Cindy's recommendations and it
shall be fine.
Just as very conservative Christian views, are allowed, even books of the
Taliban or the extreme religious right would be allowed on Bookshare which
is honestly a wonderful thing. As we have no government funding there is no
censorship like there is with NLS who have to pick their selections very
carefully. How long did it take NLS to finally considering publishing
Playboy for example.

With books like those I would definitely mark the Adults box and also explain in the long synopsis that the book contains profanity, vulgar language (I think profanity is using words like God and damn, but I may be wrong), etc. That's why the box is there for validators and submitters to use. Also, I think members who don't want to read books like that and have so indicated should be spared them.
The reason I'd write what the book contains as well as marking the Adult box is in case things get mixed upas theyh apparently have. Some of the Bertrice Small books that are suddenly available to everyone, or were last week, were marked Adult. I know there are some people here would not like to read them.

virus found in this outgoing message.I am currently reading the imigrants and yes it has sexual descriptions and swearing including the F word. With the discussion in the last few days I was wondering if the tool misses this kind of book, do children have access to it. If the tool considers books adult or not and if it misses, what happens to those that don't want to see this kind of book. Shelly or anyone that wouldn't mind writting me off list, and answer a question for me that would be fine. Here's the question and I wrote to bookshare yesterday about it and would like your thoughts on it and if you can think of bookshare first and then you can tell me your thoughts. Here's the question and hope you can read between the lines and keep in mind we want to make sure bookshare becomes a good value of reading of all taste. The book is called Sir Richards sees his friends and it was apparently witten by an english author but we won't know who the author is. It was published in the U.S by Blue Moon Books which is in new york or califonia but this book contains whipping of the sort which i won't mention here but hope you get the drift. It has miniors in it which I am concerned even though they agree to it. I didn't read it but just scan it and taking out the junk but i made a promise to provide all kinds of material but this one has me concerned and yes children won't see it because it will be marked adult all the way but it still concerns me. My email address is rtweedy2@xxxxxxx or you can answer on the list but i want those that answer to be more conforttable, that is why I gave out my email address. The girls range from age 14 to 28 and that is all i will say on the list. I just don't want to go through the trouble if we decide not to do this and i don't want to get bookshare into any trouble even this book is copyrighted in the u.s but we shall see what you all think. > NoChecked by AVG Anti-Virus.
