What Makes It Uncommon

Free Thinking

The Great Gatsby, Lord of the Flies, To Kill a Mockingbird--they all might be well-loved classics, but they have something else in common: they were all banned books at one point. Featuring the previously-banned titles on one sock and bold crossed out "censoring" on the other, this literary set is perfect for the book lover with a taste for breaking the rules. Made in China.

Usually ships within 24 hours.

Great Gift For Book Lovers

Purchased these as a gift and the recipient was extremely happy. They said that the quality of the material was very good and they loved the unique design of one sock having the title names and the other sock with the redacted lines. Great gift idea.

Great socks

Bought these as a Christmas gift for my partner who is a reading and writing teacher. Besides the great print, these socks fit true to size and are very soft.

Banned Books are alive & Well

I belong to a book club. We felt like challenging ourselves to read a banned book, & we did. So, this is a very appropriate gift for the readers in your life. These also are humorous, too.

Can you still read the titles of the censored/banned books even with the thick black lines covering them?

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! While one sock does have the thick black lines, the other sock in the pair does not which allows the titles to be read.

  • undisclosed

Are these the Out of Print brand, or knockoffs?

Verified reply from Beau

These are made my Out of Print.

  • Cranford, NJ

What size would I get for a woman who wears a size 7 shoe?

Verified reply from Valerie

The small size fits women's shoe sizes 5.5-9.5.

  • California

The large and small size socks have sizes listed. Do these correspond to shoe sizes? For someone with a 9 shoe or larger calf - should the buy the large size?

Verified reply from Valerie

The sizes are: Small: Sock size 9-11; Women's 5.5-9.5; Men's 4.5-7.5 Large: Sock size 10-13; Women's 10-13; Men's 8-12

  • Farmington Hills, MI

What is the cotton content in these socks? Are they a fairly soft, comfortable material?

Verified reply from Marisa

The sock fabric is 75% cotton, 10% nylon, 10% polyester, and 5% spandex. They're made with a dense, fine knit for softness.

This may be a silly question, but are these unisex socks? I wanted to buy these for a guy friend!

Verified reply from Paul

Thank you for writing and this is certainly not a silly question. These are intended to be unisex, with the large size fitting most men.
