For starters, it bans anything that I know of (I don't claim much expertise) by John Norman. That's not surprising. It's also clear that it bans "Silverlock", and "The Moon's Fire-Eating Daughter" by John Myers Myers (which are hardly pornography), many PK Dick stories, quite a few Ron Goulart stories (so what?), and so many more that I'm not going to keep going. I wonder what will happen when someone gets their nose out of joint at the local B. Daltons and decides to have them arrested for selling "Silverlock". It should be interesting.
