    I'll give it a shot but I've encountered very little - shall we say - professionalism on the part of Chicago Public Library employees. Frankly, asking them anything more complicated than "where's the men's room" usually results in either a blank stare or a lot of bad attitude.

    And that is not an insult to librarians in general...I am specifically talking about the folks who work in the Chicago Libraries...most of whom got their jobs because they knew somebody and not because they got a degree in Library Science. C'mon...it's Chicago...we didn't invent the patronage system here but we did perfect it.

    Don't worry...I'm pretty well known in most of the used book stores in the city and I'm sure that a couple of phone calls will round me up a copy.

    Sorry to hear that, AA...the used bookstores might be a good option though.
