-Caveat Lector- I asked my local library to purchase a copy of Daniel Hopsicker's book, "Barry & the Boys." The book isn't available anywhere in the statewide system they use, so it's not available for inter-library loan. I don't know if everyone is aware that you can request that your local library to make specific purchases. They will take all requests into consideration, and I've had good luck with this in the past.
They called me today and said they approved the purchase and tried to put the order through but that "the company canceled the request" and "the book is not available" for ordering. I find this plenty strange because the book is available from amazon.com for crying out loud, so how can a public library not get it? I trust that the library tried, and I don't think they're lying to me or anything. I don't know enough about the book-ordering process to know where they might have hit a snag. But I am suspicious that there would be any snags to hit. It's a hot book, which is why I wanted them to buy it. I wanted it to be available for local consumption for anyone who might do a search on "CIA" or any number of keywords. I've heard of book "snags" before - like deliberately messed-up ISBN #'s making ordering nearly impossible. More than once I've seen hot books listed in public library catalogs but not on the shelves or anywhere to be found. I figured "they" have mini-goons going around stealing them - anything to make it difficult for the public to find the info. The last book I recall this happening with was Judith Spencer's "Satan's High Priest." It was an excellent book, by the way - a very insightful inside view of a satanic cult, with important insights into the psychology of perpetrators. I could see why mini-goons might want to steal it.
