Online retail giant Amazon.com came under a storm of electronic protest Wednesday for selling a self-published electronic book called “The Pedophile’s Guide to Love and Pleasure.”
The title — published Oct. 28 by Phillip R. Greaves — has been flooded with angry criticism mostly aimed at the Seattle-based retailer for offering it for sale. The controversy raises the question of whether Amazon has any set procedures for vetting books to be sold in its online stores.
