Ooo. I want to read that book! I just went to RI's libraries' site and looked for it. It seems that in my state, there is only one copy of the book. It's in a nearby town. I frequently go to that library; it's near a small market I like to shop at. I just reserved reserved the book, but because today I've just started a light novel, I asked that Doyle's book be sent to my own town's library. I'll be ready to read it when it arrives, and the state's library funding scheme is based partly on the number of books borrowed at each library, so I hope it is credited to mine. I live in a poor small town where many of the mills shut down when manufacturing moved south. The other town is the second wealthiest in the state. We can barely afford to keep our library functioning--in fact several years ago it cut back drastically on hours. In the summer, it's closed on Saturdays, and year-round it is only open 3 evenings/week. That's far fewer hours than the other one.
