It was no longer on the shelf. In the UK the Libraries have a system to ensure that *some* paper copies of books are preserved and available at least for reference. The vast majority are also available to borrow via the British Library, you just have to fill in a form, and wait. Local poets and writers can *always* be found in the Local Studies section of libraries, often borrowing copies. -- Dave Fawthrop <dave hyphenologist co uk> Killfile and Anti Troll FAQs at http://www.hyphenologist.co.uk/killfile.
