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

[Greg Kearney]

I have never known the NLS to do such a thing either but at the same time I have never known an administration to attempt to sabotage the postal service to gain political advantage either.

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.

> 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.
