A recent study has found that banning a book actually increases its readership and circulation: https://pubsonline.informs.org/doi/full/10.1287/mksc.2024.0716?utm_source=Mastodon

I'm in no way surprised by this. Everyone knows that the best way to get someone to do something is to forbid them from doing it. There's also no such thing as bad publicity. If I hear that a book I've never heard of has been banned somewhere, I'm obviously going to want to find out more about that book, and potentially to read it myself so that I can understand what all the fuss is about. #BannedBooks @bookstodon

" A little more digging confirmed that Panther Books mutated into #SevenSeasBooks, which was run by #Heym ’s American #wife, Gertrude #Gelbin, and continued to #publish English-language #books, mostly #novels "
