Subject: Scary West/Reed Tale
Hello, all! Please gather around the water-cooler and let me tell my
miserable tale. Maybe someone has seen this before and can tell me what
to do.
Our library owns a copy of Corbin on Contracts (one volume edition).
One of our associates came to me yesterday to report a printing glitch.
On page 514, the last footnote is #78. On page 15, the next footnote is
#82. Where did the other three go? My requestor *reeeealllly* needed
these footnotes for a pressing project, so I wanted to hit someone up
for a fax. I called my excellent local law school library, but their
copy was in the same shape.
Since ConC has always been a West hornbook, I called West. (You see
this coming, don't you?) I was told by West's customer service that
Reed now handles this product, and was given a phone number.
I called the number and got a *Michie* rep (yeah, they got them, too).
At least they didn't deny that they were handling Corbin now. This
person wasn't sure who was handling Corbin, but transferred me to
someone who might know - who didn't, and transferred me to someone else
who might know. This person had a passable guess, but that person was
out to lunch, so I had to leave a voice mail.
I still don't know if I talked to the person who handled Corbin. Does
anyone out there know the entity at Reed/Michie/Whoever who handles
Corbin? Or hornbooks in general? Or half-crazed librarians who get the
run-around?
Okay, I'm done. Thanks for listening. And for any ideas. (Sigh)
