Regime-banned books are in school libraries and on indigo bookshelves at eye level for children.
REAL banned books are often decades out of print, going for hundreds of dollars used on eBay, they've been disappeared by publishers and distributors in spite of interest and demand. Others have authors who've died or been imprisoned for their ideas, yet more have been removed from city or university-wide library systems so that their "Misinformation" and "Lies" do not poison impressionable scholars.
Yet more are suppressed algorithmically, not appearing on the author's wikipedia page and not appearing in Google search if you type the author and "book" or "memoirs"... but only appearing when you already know the full title of the work (try this yourself: Type in "Pinochet Memoirs", and then type in "Pinochet: A journey through a life")
Yet others are explicitly banned, some to the point where a mere PDF on your hard drive can result in a decade-long sentence... IN THE UNITED KINGDOM, NEW ZEALAND, and AUSTRIA.
This has been a massive project. over 200 titles on the full list and 10,000 words in my "Cursory" survey.

Notes -
I'd be interested to see also a list of effectively banned videos related to these books. Extremist groups often create video's arguing their worldview and these video's often veered into the mixing together seemingly unrelated ideologies. It's a combination of fascinating and hilarious. Imagine, for example, seeing a video on Northern Irish Loyalist extremism and then suddenly the video starts explaining the necessity of a Land Value Tax. Incredible.
Or if in the midst of a Kahanist speech there was some side ramble against the Israeli government because of the importance of environmental regulations on water usage for sustained economic use.
If anyone else remembers, there was a time in early ISIS when they spooked the world by virtue of having a good media game instead of Al Qaeda style grainy shaky cam in the mountains. They produced a video explaining how after ISIS will fix the economy by brining back the Gold (Dinar) Standard in resistance the Federal Reserve. It is inadvertently hilarious/voyeuristically fascinating as they go back and forth between ancient history lessons, quotes from the Quran about weights & measures, and Free State Project tier screeds against the Federal Reserve. All in English.
You can still find it on Internet Archive (views: 150) but it's otherwise effectively scrubbed from the internet.
I can't help but find such absurdities to be interesting to collect.
I know @KulakRevolt gives a headnod to Holocaust Revisionist literature in his article without specifically including it. But given that Holocaust Denial was basically the first class of political content to be banned from YouTube, and the first class of book political content to be banned from Amazon books, I would be remiss if I did not specifically mention banned Revisionist materials that are responsive to your interest.
This is especially the case because the long-time publisher of the Revisionist written literature recently declared it was suspending operations and restructuring the business. This is on the heels of some extraordinary suppression efforts of Revisionist written material, including growing censorship laws in the Western world and very recent UN Declarations demanding member states actively combat this material.
So, one example of a banned video related to a banned book is a video on the Majdanek Gas Chamber Myth released by the same publisher of a banned book on the same study. Any reasonable person who is willing to spend a few hours can see that this is a clear case where the banned book provides a more truthful interpretation of history than what passed as official history of an alleged gas chamber extermination camp. This is only one such case of dozens of volumes from the same publisher, which are all more banned in the real sense of the word than anything else Kulak has on that list.
I found the tone of the "banned video" very off-putting. From the parody "20th Century HOAX" intro to the incessant claim that Zyklon B was exclusively used as a "LIFESAVING measure to keep the prisoners HEALTHY and FREE of typhus." My guess is that the intended audience is not a reasonable person seeking the truth, but those who already deny the holocaust and are searching for arguments.
In a narrow sense, the death-toll of 78,000 is more truthful than the 1946 Soviet estimate of 1.5 million, but the overall message of the video is extremely dishonest.
Because Zyklon B was a life-saving measure. Even the non-Revisionist Jean-Claude Pressac estimated that 97% of all Zyklon B at Auschwitz was used for delousing clothing to prevent the spread of epidemic typhus. Of course Revisionists contest the idea that 3% of that supply was used to murder millions of people inside gas chambers disguised as shower rooms, but the point is that even non-revisionists accept that the vast majority of the use of Zyklon B was for the purpose of disinfestation to prevent the spread of epidemic typhus. Zyklon B was used across the entire Reich at nearly all concentration camps, not just the 4 "extermination camps."
The Soviets investigators, Nuremberg reports submitted as evidence in trials, and Majdanek museum all identified the Bath and Disinfestation building as the center of gas chamber extermination, but after the Revisionist technical study they admit that the rooms in question were used to delouse clothing with Zyklon B, not gas prisoners, indeed as a lifesaving measure.
You do realize that when a house gets fumigated the inhabitants have to leave don't you?
Yes the question is whether they did that or not, or whether the facilities could support a mass execution via gassing campaign.
Every prison and concentration camp the US ever ran did some form of delousing. The import of a delousing agent doesn't prove anything on its own aside from the fact that they deloused their prisoners
Not taking aside on the Revisionist claim, aside to state I think it's inherently plausible...
40 million people died in the east, and 8 million Germans died in the war, many of starvation... Mass Deaths of Jews are an overdetermined event, we'd expect them to die in vast numbers as prisoners in a regime that can't keep it's elite and upper-middle class alive.
Proving the holocaust is actually a difficult proposition. You're going into a ship that lost life support and where everyone turned on each other and trying to argue that "No No No... Aside from the catastrophic unsurvivable war in which millions died and the ship itself losing the ability to feed or sustain life... the people in charge of the ship also ran a methodical machinelike campaign of organized perfectly run extermination BEFORE they lost power and everything went to hell and millions died anyway"
That's inherently hard to prove... It's like proving a mass shooting happened on 9/11 on floor 50 of Tower Two between the time when the first plane hit and the time the tower fell... no one was paying attention, and it'd be a heroic effort to disentangle the bodies.
And yet you don't delouse clothes while people are wearing them. Even if we accept the apologetics of guys like you and SS at face value it only begs the question of; if this wasn't a progrom why did the camps exist in the first place?
Why did the Camps for the boer in south africa exist, the ones for Japanese Americans exist, or the Ones for Ukrainian americans exist?
Why did the gulags exist?
This was the great era of slave labour camps from the US to Canada to the UK to the Soviet union.
Litterally everyone had camps. The difference is the Nazis lost, lost the ability to feed their own poeple, let alone prisoners, and suffered 8 million germans dead, in addition to another 2 million ethnically cleansed from the east.
It's not clear the Japanese Americans or Ukrainian Canadians would have fared better if they lost and were invaded. Thus why it is so difficult to prove that in addition to everything that was going on that we'd expect to kill the Jews in the camps from lack of life support, there was ALSO a deliberate plan of mass extermination.
