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 sheLecture
was concerned about lack of shelf space in the stacks, so she started
"pruning" the collection of "old out-of-date worthless books." Without
asking she pruned (she literally threw in the trash) the Feynman
Series and the Berkeley Physics Series. Of course I did not discover
this until they were gone. When I complained, she said they were too
old and couldn't be of much value. When I got angry and told her that
no bona fide librarian would throw out old books without checking their
value she got angry back and told me it was her decision.
