Concerning the library throwing out something without checking, Joel
said, "I hope you complained vociferously."
We got a new librarian a couple years ago and shed
was concerned about lack of shelf space in the stacks, so she starte=
"pruning" the collection of "old out-of-date worthless books." With=out
asking she pruned (she literally threw in the trash) the FeynmanLecture
Series and the Berkeley Physics Series. Of course I did not discove=r
this until they were gone. When I complained, she said they were to=o
old and couldn't be of much value. When I got angry and told her th=at
no bona fide librarian would throw out old books without checking th=eir
value she got angry back and told me it was her decision.
