[bksvol-discuss] Re: an adult book but not for adults?

Scott, my understanding, and I may be
mis-understanding, is that we're not "restricting" any
adult who wants to read an Adult book unless they
request it -- and that yound adults under the age of
18 can also access Adult books if they have their
parents' permission.
