The list was detached from the advisory

We would post the detailed list of the books that are to be burned & gotten rid of entirely, as well as the specific pages that should be removed from but unfortunately they weren't attached to the advisory any more. From the wording of the Pubs Purge (see the next paragraph) it appears that as Family members purged the lit, a leader checked the completed purges off one by one, then sent in the list to WS:

P.S. Following is a detailed list of the books that are to be burned & gotten rid of entirely, as well as the specific pages that should be removed from within the remaining books & lit of your Homes’ Library. Please fill in the appropriate boxes next to each of these listed items & return this list as son as you have completed “purging” your Homes’’ literature.

Therefore none of the lists themselves are around. Does anyone have a copy? Please send it to us.

My guess is that you don't remember this pub because you maybe never even heard it. If you had been in a small Home, you would have been involved in the Lit Purge, but since you were in a large combo at the time probably a handpicked team handled the 'dirty work' without the rest of the Combo even being aware of it.
