I mean, it made me LOL, either way:)

True story - at my home in a medium size cowtown/ranching community outside a larger young/enviro/yuppie/extreme wealth town, I sent dh to the library to check out both of Obama's books. Librarian told him that there were no copies of Dreams of My Father, and only one large print version of The Audacity of Hope. They used to have 10 copies of each - and all have been stolen from the library.

All of them. The librarian said it happens all the time, you'd be surprised how many books are stolen each year. But I check out tons of books in this small library, and have not until now come across any book I can't check out because it was stolen, more less that many copies. I don't know how to read this situation, but it is odd.

There were plenty of copies of John McCain's books, which I did have dh pick up, and which I can't even find enough curiousity to muddle through yet.
