Ban Marketing
March 05, 2023
I have heard some say that there is no such thing as bad publicity.
I am not sure I agree with that, but there have been times when controversy and adverse attention have worked to the advantage of an idea.
There is nothing like a good book ban to increase interest and sales.
There is nothing like telling the truth to make that book stand the test of time.
On this day in 1616 – Nicolaus Copernicus's book On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres is added to the Index of Forbidden Books 73 years after it was first published.
"People of integrity expect to be believed and, when they are not, let time prove them right."
