“The Scattered Library offers a compelling and ambitious rebuttal to the notion that the story of Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute ended with the infamous Nazi book burning.

The book offers an indispensable resource for historians interested in Hirschfeld and his intellectual legacy.”

“Having one's book banned is not a prize. It's an assault on the right to read. And, worse, official acts of censorship beget quiet censorship, done in anticipation of criticism.

As frequently banned author Malinda Lo writes, "Self-censorship is possibly the most difficult kind of censorship to fight because it is generally not publicly admitted. It's done quietly, in private. If nobody knows it's happening, how can anyone object?"”
