Bronze Age Barbarian  | 2 comments Hi, I do research and was using this book among others for a project and i have now found multiple examples of books, some famous that are now marked as does not meet catalog guidelines, when they very obviously do.

One book in question is found at this link

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7...

All of the books I have found like this are political in nature which is concerning as there is a pattern of them being delisted even though they fully meet Goodreads policies surrounding content and cataloguing.. For this specific book that I posted the link of, could this be made public again? It meets all guidelines so I have no idea who took it down, I'm hoping it wasn't someone trying to censor. Thanks!!! The author page is also taken down...

Bronze Age Barbarian  | 2 comments When did this begin? This book and others which are now unavailable were fully available before. I understand that if this same error shows up for a different reason you guys can make it public again but in these censorship cases, does it tell you that explicitly?
