      3. Seuss himself engaged in brand management by not keeping in print such now embarrassing juvenilia as "Boners: By Those Who Pull Them" and "The Pocket Book of Boners."pic.twitter.com/amVbhKD1z0

      4. This is Rosemary Tonks (1928-2014), poet and novelist. In the 1960s/1970s she wrote witty social comedies: think Firbanks or Waugh against a swinging London background. Then she had a religious conversion and renounced her work.pic.twitter.com/YAEp644N28

      5. Tonks not only let her works fall out of print, but would also go into used book stores and buy up old copies and destroy them. Her work is now exceedingly rare.

      6. Sidney Hook wrote too of the very best expositions of Karl Marx ever: Towards The Understanding of Karl Marx (1933) & From Hegel to Marx (1936). Then when he became a Cold Warrior forbade the republication of these excellent books.

      7. It took years for Hooks' reluctant estate to agree to a republication of Towards the Understanding of Karl Marx. For many years it was available only in a samizdat version.pic.twitter.com/EX11VD4c4z

      8. Even Stephen King has taken a book out of circulation! King's friend Harlan Ellison had a few early books he was embarrassed by. Not only would they not be kept in print, if a fan offered them to be signed Ellison would rip them up!https://twitter.com/mattkeeley/status/1368983687715557382 …

      Stephen King, just about the biggest writer there is, insisted that his novel RAGE go out of print because he believed it had inspired school shootings. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rage_(King_novel) …

      9. James Gould Cozzens regarded first three or four novels as an embarrassment and when he became a bestseller in 1950s refused to let them be reprinted. True also of many other writers, notably Mordecai Richler.

      I'm curious about this too. He won all the major awards back in the day for his novels, but most of them now seem to be out-of-print now. I wonder if he's going to be re-evaluated at some point?

      I like a few of his books from late 1930s/1940s - the Just and Unjust being one. His most famous book is unreadable, imo. YMMV

          Have you read Guard of Honor, Jeet? Is that one worth checking out?

          I found it a struggle. Better people than me love it.
