Yeah, Jay it worked pretty well, and pretty quickly. As I noted elsewhere, I do want my own copy, but I want the library to have one as well. I have a generosity and trust problem. I lend my books. I lend because I want the information to travel far and wide, and I believe people will return them, and I believe I'll remember who has them, and I like the feeling of sharing. These beliefs end up in a constant drain on my library. I finally figured out that if I get the library to buy a copy as well, then instead of lending I can just refer. So much the better because when libraries cull their books to make room for new ones, they have many criteria for what to keep and what to cull. One thing that keeps a book in the collection is use, use , use.
Best luck: satisfaction
Greatest curse, greed
