Apparently one of the casualties of what’s being called #amazonfail, the delisting of suddenly so-called “adult” books from Amazon Rankings, is Alison Bechdel’s award-winning graphic novel Fun Home.
But don’t worry. You can still get Mein Kampf and porn.
(thanks to Laura Hudson for the h/t)
*Edit: Fun Home appears to have its sales rank now. Other books still missing them. Will keep an eye on this.
Update: According to various sources, Amazon has reported that the sales rank dropping was caused by a “glitch” that is being/has been fixed.

Strangers in Paradise is still missing its rank, though.

What some of the LGBT groups are pointing out is that quite a bit of “mainstream” adult material, like numerous Playbot collections, are not being listed, and more gay and other “non-mainstream” adult material is.
IMS, ebay also still offers auctions for adult materials, but they’re completely removed from searches, and you pretty much have to know how to get there to get it.
Just like the good old days…
