Not only seen as, but actually doing so, IMHO. What a horrible, 
stupid, @#$%&* person this Stouffer is!!!

I had volunteered to go to the Library of Congress and read Stouffers 
so-called work, but as her old publisher never sent a copy to the 
Library, she has never been listed in their catalog.

I dont know how we are going to get a copy of this book without 
paying for it, which I personally refuse to do.  I checked the 
Library of Congress catalog recently and Stouffer is still not 
listed, but that would make sense if the book is not being published 
until May.  However even if this publisher does send the requisite 
copies to the Library of Congress, the Library takes quite awhile to 
put new acquisitions into circulation, as much as a year.

I suspect we may be seeing these horrible books in bookstores, since 
Stouffer is clearly taking advantage of the popularity of HP to strut 
her own lack of talent.
