OK, I already knew I'm an idiot -- I don't have to be reminded. As it turns out, my copy of The Folksinger's Guitar Guide (long out of print, not sold in stores, and which I've been searching the house for for over a year now, on and off) has been sitting on a shelf in my bedroom all this time. The same shelf where I used to keep my filk binder, as a matter of fact.

Dumb bear.

By the way, when did music publishers start intimidating stores into refusing to sell used books? They won't even take returns, it seems. Those eyetracks just destroy the resale value, you know...
