- I should mention two things related to the book from Juneau, Alaska.
- The first is that someone recently had anonymously donated a copy of
- "Sex" to the Alaska State Library. Their official response was
- something along the lines of "This is not the sort of thing we
- collect - we'll decide at a later date how to dispense of it." (Yeah,
- right - someone who works at the library probably took it home so he
- could have something new with which to jack off at night) The other
- item of note is that both of the primary booksellers in town (Juneau's
- population is about 27,000) had initially refused to carry the book.
- I seem to recall that they returned the initial shipments that were
- sent to them. I don't know if they have reversed their stances since
- then.
