Re: WTF is that shit?
Books have "always" gone out of print, at least for the last 40 years, since I've taken interest in reading. I never found it anything more than just an annoyance, same as getting drenched when you have no shelter or coat, or missing that last roll of loo paper when you've battled the mob of other hopefuls for the last x hours. Sometimes you searched for that out of print book and got it in the end, sometimes you borrowed, etc., sometimes you didn't, and life went on. The search was a part of the annoyance/fun of everyday life. Currently:
I!
MUST!
HAVE IT!

WTF!
