Whitcoulls is being accused of censorship and moral panic - because it's hiding a literary journal with risqué content.
Copies of Folly Journal have been pulled off Whitcoulls shelves around the country and are now only offered when customers ask for it.
Editor and Founder of Folly Journal Emily Broadmore told Heather duPlessis-Allan that Whitcoulls hasn't explained specifically why their books have been removed from stores.
'We have no idea. We've just been told that it's offensive, but we can't figure it out.'
