    I check on Amazon for a used copy. 🙂 If it’s not too expensive, I will try to replace it.

    Ooh, yeah. Forgot the crying part. My copy of “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis” has sentimental value…I received it as a gift from my high school librarian during the last week of school some years ago!

    Has not happened to me yet. But I imagine I would cry for a moment. Then I would set it out to dry as best I could while calling used stores and hunting for it on line.
