Disappointed in LM_NET?  I read it differently:  41 people out there either
(1) don't have enough money appropriate yet for *this year's* reference
books (you *did* specify), or (2) don't much like what they *do* have, or
(3) are so swamped with students, projects, administrative requests, and
just general library media messes (or was that only I???), or (4) have not
had enough patrons use the new materials that they can make an intelligent
appraisal of the potential success of the materials.  Two people (those who
suggested books) are not only to be congratulated for responding, but are
to be envied that they had the money to buy them, and the time to critically
review them, use them with students, and find the time to reply to you!

Sorry, kiddo, but LM_NETters, IMNSHO, deserve better than this!  But...
what the heck, we all have bad days.  Maybe tomorrow will look better.
Best of luck to you.
