If you haven't been lost in the librarian blogs this weeekend you will have missed the news that a new print edition of The Advenutres of Huck Finn is being published. Unlike every other edition thought, the publisher has taken steps to get the book back into the mainstream. In the new edition, every instance of the "N-word" is replaced with the word "slave."
In an effort to remove all of the controvesial moments from the book, there is a fundraising goal on Kickstarter to publish a version where the "N-word" is replaced with "robot."
You can watch the video they made and learn more here
