Mr. Comstock zealously protected innocent American eyes from the corrupting influence of erotic tomes.

Of course, to identify such tomes he had to read them himself first.

So you’re OK with works by Balzac, Flaubert, Joyce and Lawrence being banned based on isolated passages? That’s what happened with the Comstock laws.
