Well, we've already mentioned Hitler. There's also Anthony Comstock (who is one of American political history's most reprehensible figures), Tsar Nicholas II, Lenin, Francisco Franco, Mao Zedong, Joseph McCarthy, Augusto Pincohet, the Taliban regime...

Omega Entity:
Funnily enough, one of the widely-accepted methods of destroying old bibles is by burning them.

amykathleen:
Other book burners include every spoiled rich kid I went to middle and high school with, who would hold book-burning bonfire parties at the end of the school year.  In middle school the burned books were mostly workbooks and the books we read in English class, but in high school, when we had to start buying our textbooks instead of borrowing them from the school, these people would actually set fire to hundreds of dollars of textbooks at the end of the year instead of selling them back.  I still cannot wrap my brain around it.
