It was reported by the
Australian Booksellers Association in their e-newsletter last week that Australian
retailers including Dymocks, Collins Booksellers and Booktopia say on their
websites that Ms Gibson's book is no longer available. Bookworld, a division of
Penguin Australia,
has removed the book from its website.
Publishing house Penguin
last month stopped supplying the cookbook after Ms Gibson failed to explain
discrepancies about her health claims and fundraising activities detailed in
the book's 3000-word preface. (And yet
this book still appears on the publishers website.)
Like another larger
bookstore (Readings)
we don’t believe in banning books, particularly as the publisher is not
recalling stock. So, if you’re interested in some interesting recipes, you’ll
find the last copy of this book still on our shelves.
What are your thoughts on
banning books?
