The example I'm looking at is <i>Juliet Takes a Breath</i> the graphic adaptation which has sex scenes and nudity on full display. What do you all suggest--put it on the shelf and see if any backlash occurs? Don't put it on the shelf? Permission slip? </div><div><br></div><div>I'm open to all suggestions!</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Gina</div></div>
