==Privishing==
'''Privishing''' (''priv''ate publ''ishing'', but not to be confused with [[self-publishing]]) is a modern term for publishing a book but printing so few copies or with such lack of marketing, advertising, or sales support that it effectively does not reach the public.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0711-05.htm |title=Journalists Thrown 'Into the Buzzsaw' |last=Winkler |first=David |date=11 July 2002 |publisher=CommonDreams.org |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070804080018/http://www.commondreams.org/views02/0711-05.htm |archive-date=4 August 2007 }}</ref> The book, while nominally published, is almost impossible to obtain through normal channels such as bookshops, often cannot be ordered specially, and has a notable lack of support from its publisher, including refusal to reprint the title. A book that is privished may be referred to as "killed." Depending on the motivation, privishing may constitute a [[breach of contract]], [[censorship]],<ref>{{cite journal
