I feel for you. I think there's something bad in the air for library people these last few months. Much nastiness has been about. I say we call for a professional Wiccan cleansing ceremony.

I didn't know that the cover of my 1st book was going to be this horrid orange color until I saw it. It kinda grew on me over the years, but I wonder what would have happened if I sent it back for a "redo". Be well and drink lots of liquids. :-) Ack!!!

I ordered the book online from the Amazon link. Then a week later got a notice that it was delayed. I ordered it because I am writing a paper for a MLIS course and was hoping to use it as a reference. I'm sorry my copy will not be arriving until after the paper is due (May 15th). But, I look forward to reading it over the summer. Take care of yourself.
