Congratulations! The local B. Dalton refused to order the book. They
stated that it was a "textbook" and that B. Dalton does not deal textbooks.
Oh, really? Well, they sell quite a few books that I happenned to use as
`texts' in college. Knuth, for example.
I can see why they might not keep them in stock, but to refuse someone's
good money on a special order is just bad business. I would imagine that
if you pestered them hard enuf they would give in.
Disclaimer of responsibility: I am not responsible.
Me neither.
