Or are our universities in such decline these days they have to sell their library books to make ends meet? Seriously though - it must happen to a lot of people - you read a title or borrow it from a library only to find that it is such a good book you have to get your own copy. That is one of the reasons I don't visit the local library all that much these days. Or bookshops.
