"The Artifice of Beauty" is a great book! Mine was a Christmas gift,
but I know that they got it from Amazon.

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>
I know it has been mentioned before, but "The Artifice of Beauty"
by Sally Pointer is actually very handy.

I am sure there are American sites with this information.
