What really irks me are those treatises that are converted to loose-leaf yet
still have new material filed in separate sections. I'm writing this from
home so I cannot off the top of my head provide a list of examples from our
library, but we've got a bunch. Bender, Shepard's, ... they _all_ do it.
What a waste of our time and money!
