[DTB-Talk] FW: [NLS Network] More clarity on Bolton and Mary Trump books

[Pratik Patel]

It would behoove us to get the data before we speculate and jump to conclusions. That's why I asked Pam earlier if she can get us the running times for the books she has downloaded. We can compare the running times with the commercial versions available via Audible or another commercial vendor. If anyone else downloaded these books from Bard before they were removed, we would appreciate this info.

I have never known NLS to make decisions about what books to add based on political considerations.  Their selection of books seems appropriately balanced politically.  Given their even handed behavior, suggesting that NLS might in some way be censoring books would be unwarranted.  I'm glad to know the technical reasons for this problem.

Thanks so much for this Dave.  I am really skeptical since they are two highly controversial groups, but I will give NLS the benefit of the doubt!

Due to a technical issue with the transfer of a group of audiobook files during the production process, NLS has identified deleted passages in two bestsellers recently added to BARD: “Too Much and Never Enough (DB99251)” by Mary Trump, and “The Room Where It Happened (DB99187),” by John Bolton. These titles have been removed from BARD temporarily. We are working diligently to identify and rectify problems with all affected books and will return titles to BARD as soon as the fixes are complete.
