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."

First of all, doesn't evry single book published in the US have to have a copy in the Library of Congress?  For the getting a copym of the book, why not just go to a book store, sit down and read it?  That's what I always do, I rarely buy books, and if the library doesn't have it, reading it in a bookstore works fine.  We don't know what Stouffer's books are like, but most likely they aren't very good, a key to why she's acting thhis way.  I can say that I'm almost positive that they won't be as popular as HP, but I do want to read them, to  see what they are like.
