[h-cost] Plucked, Shaved & Braided

[Mary + Doug Piero Carey]

Susan asked if this has actually been printed. 

I can't tell.  Given that Worldcat can show books ordered but not yet 
processed into a library's collection, a book ordered before the presses 
roll could show up in a catalog After publication has been cancelled.  
Very annoying, but possible.  Removing unreceived books from the data 
stream has a Much lower priority than taking care of the new stuff, 
especially when you're still hoping that the item will get scheduled & 
finally arrive.  Most Tech Services depts. that I'm familiar with run 
such procedures once or twice a year, rather than monthly.  So, the lag 
can be quite long.  That's why I recommended calling the library 
involved.  From the messages in the digests since I wrote that, it 
doesn't look good!  Drat it, I was going to recommend purchase to my 
Scadian buddy in selection.  <mutter, grumble>  She was saying to me 
just last night that we had very little on the history of hairdressing!  
<sigh>
