Seaking of Libraries
In case you are unaware of it, the following URL will tell you how many libraries (names and locations included) have stocked your book -- as well as how many have stocked your neighbor's.
And the current NEW YORKER -- that's the one with Sen, and Mrs. Obama on the cover -- has a wonderful article by Jill Lepore about STUART LITTLE and the efforts of Anne Carroll Moore, New York City's superintendent of children's literature, to protect her charges from it. It's a delightful tale of canons, censorship, and the shifts of taste and time.

Thanks for the site. Interesting to see what got bought and where, and I only checked out California for a few of my books. Thank you!

English grammar and dirty jokes in the Cairo library?
Thanks for sharing this site. Interesting to wonder what I might have said when writing "Grammar Snobs Are Great Big Meanies" had you told me it would end up in the Cairo library.
I probably would have cut back a bit on the Beavis & Buttheadesque humor.
