LSE blog examines the long history of book access restrictions

The London School of Economics' Impact of Social Sciences blog has published a piece tracing the long history of limiting access to books, under the title 'Reading for me, but not for thee'. The article is being shared among readers, with at least one commenter saying they are adding the book under discussion to their to-be-read list.

Why now: Ongoing public debate about censorship and book bans is drawing attention to historical perspectives on restricting access to reading material.
