You could try this web-site:
"Banned BooksOnline". University of Pennsylvania. <<A

http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/banned-books.html</A>>
This website is dedicated to bringing information about books that have been
censored. It includes a section on: "Books Suppressed or Censored by Legal
Authorities" as well as a section called: "Unfit for Schools or Minors?" Various
books are discussed, examples of how they were challenged given, and the
outcome of the challenges reported. Challenged book titles are linked to
e-versions, so it is easy to peruse the book or article under review.
