su-lin the traitoress has got the last copy of the game out of queenstown library and ahas! me on sms with more than a smidgeon of smugness, though i admit that gloating would not be gloating if subtle. i have tried bukit batok (on two different days) and jurong, and not one copy of the newest diana wynne jones, though advertising themselves as Not on Loan in the catalogue, was to be found on the shelves, and all of the librarians i entreated were as dumbfounded as i. all the copies in the northeast, central, south and west are out; easterners for some apparently don't fancy dear diana, because pasir ris has still got two copies and tampines one. i suppose i could go to tampines.
