I'm working on a review of this book for a journal, Community and Junior College Libraries. The book begins with this quotation:
Where they have burned books, they will end in burning human beings. Heinrich Heine, Almansor, 1821
I find it ironic reading this book right after writing about a woman who thought it a perfectly fine idea to burn a book to prevent others from reading it and only retracted her comment after a furor was raised.
