- Mine disappear constantly.... they come back eventually, but a lot
- of the time I don't seem to have them..... currently the majority
- of my collection is 400kms away, eastwise (wow! thats almost NZ :))
-
- But the local library loses them constantly.... its very annoying, b/c
- I can't afford to buy most of them.... TP books are the most common one
- at the library to have the 'book missing' tag on the computers.
- *sigh* The price of popularity
