   Insane filing system
  
  They (used to, at least) file their Science Fiction (and some other
  sections) by publisher rather than author or even title.  Good luck

 The computing section is somewhat more sane these days.
 
 And anyway, computing by publisher is getting a lot better. You just

Heretic. Manning publish Conway's OO Perl book.
