I do remember reading about the Madonna "Sex" picture book, it was a pretty controversial issue at the time (back in 1992 - before I was on the board). Minneapolis was one of only a couple of libraries in Minnesota that purchased the book.
The book was a little pricey (limited edition book, stainless-steel-covered, and wire-bound) and there was some concern that the book might not be returned if allowed to circulate. It is my understanding that the library purchased a couple of copies back then, but today only has one copy in reference.
