If the question is specifically talking about book-burning, and not just general censorship, the earliest event we have on record is the "Burning of the books and burial of the scholars" in 213 BCE by Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi of China.

A Wiccan Book of Shadows (or any book of shadows) is a personalized book of spells, ceremonies, recipes, information, and more that is important to the person who made the book. If you are thinking of buying one, don't. It should be made BY you FOR you, and not purchased.
