My wife was working in a Canadian Bookstore when Madonna's 'Sex' came out. The store kept one unsealed copy behind the counter, so that adult patrons could see the contents before buying. After a few days, the store staff learned to only make the viewing copy available if a specific request was made, as they found that anyone that actually saw what the contents of the book were didn't end up buying it. Maybe people assumed that the fact that it was sold wrapped in plastic meant that it was far more risque than it really was...

[edit] The Japanese Edition

This article contradicts itself by saying that 1 million copies of the Japanese edition were printed, and then in the next paragraph saying that 500,000 copies were printed. Which is correct? TheMindsEye 04:06, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Evaluation

Lots of content; the only thing missing from B (or even GA) is references. --AnonEMouse (squeak) 16:17, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:JapaneseBoxCover.jpg

Image:JapaneseBoxCover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
