Book not acceptable

by midwestpagestop...

This is the note and (presumably) offending image from the history book Guns, Germs, and Steel that was returned to us when we tried to send it to someone encarcerated in the Shelby County Jail in Memphis, TN.

Note: I cut up the note to make it fit together with the image and, in haste, ordered it wrong.  The post-it read:

Book not acceptable due to everyone must be  fully dressed w/ T-shirt & clothes on. 2/21/07 Mailroom.
