Michele | 6355 comments Hello Superlibrarians --

This book https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... is, in fact, a book -- verified on WorldCat and AbeBooks. However, its status is currently set to "invalid" and there's an additional note saying that the status was set by an admin and cannot be changed. Could one of you please change the status to "public" ?

AbeBooks:
https://www.abebooks.com/book-search/...

WorldCat:
https://search.worldcat.org/title/607...

Thank you.

That being said, I've noticed there's been a "purge" of controversial books lately, like https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4... or https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...
