 A woman sits in a chair reading happily in a book-filled room.
 A voice offstage says
"You can't survive on books alone"
The woman replies
"Maybe I can!"

"How?" asks the voice
"I don't know yet, but I'm sure the answer will be in one of my books." Says the woman

Panel Three:
Caption: However 
The book is filled with yet more books.
A skull sits on the chair. It says
"I regret nothing!"ALT

Title: Why do you want the book to be banned?

A cartoon with ten panels showing people answering:

1. I read the book and hated it. 

 2. I didn't read the book, but I still hate it. 
 
 3.  I hate books! 
 
 4. I love banning things!
 
5. I could not relate to the characters. 
 
 6. I'm not sure, but better safe than sorry? 
 
 7. My copy arrived damaged. 
 
 8. It could fall into the hands of a child. 
 
 9. It could fall on to the head of a child. 
 
 10. I didn't understand the ending.ALT

Image: A small, pretty English village. A girl with a bag on her shoulder runs towards a van on the other side of the village green. She says to herself "I've got to follow my heart and leave this sleepy village behind. A new life awaits on the open road, touring from town to town in a merry band of brilliant eccentrics!"

Title: “Rebecca runs away to join the travelling library”ALT
A pen and ink drawing.
A six panel cartoon with text:

At a secret location, the intergalactic terminal awaits its first alien visitors. 

A customs officer is ready with forms printed in every conceivable script. 

The coffee shop has receptacles designed for mouth, beak, trunk or mandible.

A stall sells postcards, earth souvenirs, and an encyclopedic array of travel adaptors. 

The shuttle bus runs hourly to the city, stopping at a number of mid-price hotels. 

So far, the only landings on the runway or saucer-pad have been by local birds.ALT
