On the publication-information page of a Dell pulp fiction paperback published during World War II:

"In a free democracy everyone may read what he likes."

That too, but I was thinking of Trump trying to block publication of the recent unflattering book about him--but most of all, I was photographing this book to put it on eBay and thought it was an interesting piece of publishing history.
Everyone has the right to read Perry Mason novels! :)

Also, we're still in wartime---seems to be endless. I suppose the troops read electronically?
