Susan asked if this has actually been printed.
I can't tell. Given that Worldcat can show books ordered but not
yet processed into a library's collection, a book ordered before the
presses roll could show up in a catalog After publication has been cancelled.
Very annoying, but possible. Removing unreceived books from the
data stream has a Much lower priority than taking care of the new
stuff, especially when you're still hoping that the item will get
scheduled & finally arrive. Most Tech Services depts. that I'm
familiar with run such procedures once or twice a year, rather than
monthly. So, the lag can be quite long. That's why I recommended
calling the library involved. From the messages in the digests
since I wrote that, it doesn't look good! Drat it, I was going to
recommend purchase to my Scadian buddy in selection. <mutter,
grumble> She was saying to me just last night that we had very
little on the history of hairdressing!
<sigh>
I know it has been mentioned before, but "The Artifice of Beauty" by
Sally Pointer is actually very handy.

I am sure there are American sites with this information.
