	That would certainly be (and has been) one solution. You could also 
print a second run with the "illegal" parts blacked out.
	Hustler magazine routinely blacks out what it considers to be 
"inappropriate" text for its international (read Canadian) version, even though 
every other men's magazine legally available doesn't seem to do this. Perhaps 
their legal beagles advised them to do this?
	Also, unless you are familiar with the contents/context, you run the 
risk of misinterpreting a title. In my hypothetical case, the book might be 
subtitled "Out of Her Inheritance". Yet most people would never get that far. 
The hue and cry over such a main title would make most publishers and/or censors 
yank it very quickly!
