       A spokesman said: "Despite the best efforts of those who manage the catalogues and those who supply books, including ourselves, objectionable titles from time to time are listed.

       "With many millions of new titles published each year and the potential for malign intent of some participants, although very rarely, this does happen.

       "When we become aware of objectionable titles, we remove them from our catalogue while we investigate them and notify our cataloguing and trading partners.

       "We also examine our filters to improve these to limit as far as is possible [for] such instances in the future."
