Shocking sight at the library here in town

There was a copy of the Damned Book. On. The. Shelf. I regularly trawl the adult fiction section and not *ONCE* until now have I seen a copy of the Damn Book actually, physically On. The. Shelf. You usually had to put in a request for it if you wanted to take it out, or there was that one time that it was on the "Library Staff Picks" shelf, which is when I took it out.

I guess that's because we sold all the copies of the paperback edition at the store where I work. People got sick of the waiting list game and bought it. I'm of a mind to buy a used copy off Amazon.com and jot little comments (explanatory, ie. "This is wrong and this is why..." or just plain snarky) in the margins. G.K. Chesterton did this with somebook or other and Ignatius Press recently published that book, witty comments and all.
