If you put a hold on it, he can't renew it, right? So, he'll have to return
it or face HUGE late fees. If your library doesn't charge late fees, drop
him a note saying they do now, it's a new policy, to try and encourage him
to return it. :-)

LOL.  If they can get the book in time to bring some copies to  
Kalamazoo, I'll happily join you in the name-calling, no matter the  
price.  (Yeah, I know it's not medieval but what the heck -- last  
year a couple of the booksellers were pushing the Tudor Tailor book.)

I love getting my weekly e-mails from David Brown Book Company.  I  
even persuaded my library to buy the Luttrell Psalter!!  I have been  
waiting more or less patiently while it sits in In Process limbo...  
and then yesterday when I went to put a hold on it so that I can be  
the first one to drag it home, I discovered that a blankity-blank  
history professor emeritus had beaten me to it.  G.  If it  
weren't for library privacy laws, I would march over to his office  
and demand to know why he's always after MY books... but I'm not  
allowed to say that I know patron information like that.  So I'll  
have to be quiet and wait 'til the semester ends and he's forced to  
return everything -- or until I just can't take it any more and  
Recall the book!  (Just call me Conan the Librarian.)

That particular agent would be Ian, who is a real sweetheart in person
too. He is at K'zoo every year. He will smile winningly as you call him
names ... and plunk down your cash.
