  Very rare to see updated info. The books quite outdated, use as reference sources can always state that they are unreliable. +1 to my paragraphs.

  each library has their own purchaser.
  
  i once saw a fiction with 21 books sitting on the shelf. why so many?
  
  the money could have been spent on buying other titles.
