Signed by Haney on the front endpaper. No additional printings listed. Near fine, lacking the jacket. Blue buckram, faded on the spine, with white lettering. Square and firmly bound, foxing on the top edge, clean internally. A biting critique and history of censorship in America. From the Preface: "TO call something controversial is immediately to endanger its existence. There are many reasons for this situation, but one of the simplest is that controversy strains human relations. It is so much more comfortable to talk with people who agree with you about everything, who are, in effect, reflections of youself[.]The fear of controversy is as dangerous as it is naive.".
