Tom Cruise

Not only are some bookstores refusing to carry the unauthorized Tom Cruise biography, but now publishers are refusing to print the book. “Pan Macmillan will not print a local edition of the book Tom Cruise, An Unauthorised Biography in Australia due to legal concerns, a move that has been labelled an act of censorship.”

Leading Australian book retailers have bowed to pressure from the Church of Scientology and will not stock a biography on Tom Cruise by British writer Andrew Morton. The church says the book is an attack on their teachings and is threatening legal action against Morton, while St. Martin’s Press stands by the book and its author.
