I’ll bet most libraries bought it as a result of a recommendation, not because they actually read it.
NORTH AMERICAN MAN/BOY LOVE ASSOCIATION (NAMBLA)
Among LGBT groups, few can claim the degree of name recognition accorded to the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA). Founded in 1978, NAMBLA has been among the most controversial groups in LGBT history. The group was initially inspired by the work of the Boston/Boise Committee, which formed in 1977 to defend a group of men indicted for running a boy prostitution ring based in Massachusetts.
NAMBLA members have not been secretive about their beliefs and practices. On the contrary, the group maintains a formidable list of publications, available in many bookstores and libraries.
The Harvard University Library, as well as several other prominent repositories, carry runs of the group’s publications, including NAMBLA News, NAMBLA Bulletin, NAMBLA Journal, and Gayme.
A series called NAMBLA Topics addresses mostly legal issues, although number 4 is called Boys Speak Out on Man/Boy Love (1986); number 5 offers an anthology, Poems of Love and Liberation (1996); and number 8 (1998) carries a short story, “Voodoo,” by Ken Esser. The group also published A Witchhunt Foiled: The FBI vs. NAMBLA (1985). Nor has NAMBLA shied away from appropriate public venues, including LGBT pride parades, radio and television programs, and protest marches.
NAMBLAs’ chant;
“Sex by eight
Or it’s to late!”

Rapture NOW!
