Well, that paperback edition might be sold out. But others are still available:

That is the version I have, except it’s in hardback.

I assume (dangerous, that) you are not complaining.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library is a terrific programme (my partner has been researching its effects for her PhD) but it gifts books to 0-5-year-olds, for whom Maus might be a bit advanced.
That said, how many families with appropriately-aged kids are there in McMinn county (population 53,794), a few thousand? Crowd-funding purchase of enough copies of Maus to send one to every family in the area has got to be doable.

Yeah, it isn’t for that age group. But maybe she would make an exception and broaden the program.
It sounds like lots of others are stepping up offering free classes on it and others buying book for libraries etc.

Looks like even Metamaus is unavailable… IIRC it had a DVD-ROM with the original books on it.

It does, and it includes audio from the tapes that Art depicts himself in Maus recording while interviewing his father.

That’s a nope.

Showing them voting by raising the right hand would have been too on-the-nose I suppose

I think we’re still supposed to ‘see’ it.

Thanks! I hadn’t read Maus II. Partly because I wasn’t sure what could follow that act, partly because time is a luxury around this house. I shall remedy this.

Other examples of books being challenged by the far right… [ETA: language correction]

A lot of these books are used in AP Literature and Composition classes. I wonder if universities would use this in their selection of future students?

If the book burners have their way, AP classes would cease to exist.

This will be very bad for schools and their students if they cut AP classes. It will mean that their students are no longer competitive college applicants.
These people really don’t understand the ramifications of their poor decisions. Perhaps they should have taken some AP classes when they were in HS?
