Where is that school Halvor?  What a treasure... You're probably the only
one will read it, and one day it will be missing & you'll discover they
"deaccessioned" it... in a cardboard carton at the curb.  (Maybe you
should deaccession it first?? I can't say how many books I have acquired
by luck and money with "deaccessioned from ----- Library" stamped on the
flyleaf.)

Meanwhile, for what it's worth, the NY Public library main branch has them
too. You go through room 315 and keep going through a door at the end.
That's the art room (or is these days)...  By some mixup I got the entire
set, which compelled me to read until I had to depart for life support.
Broke my heart to give them back.  (Interim report: Estelle Jussim is the
best.)
