Lost Book Bleg (UPDATE)

Weeks ago, I lost a copy of John Bolton's Surrender Is Not an Option: Defending America at the United Nations--a copy which belongs to the Los Angeles Public Library's Robertson branch.

Now, I'm sure that people who are familiar with the book are wondering how I could misplace such a thick book. Well, it's easy to do after you've sat in an emergency room for seven hours, as I did with my great-aunt. (She had a bad burn, courtesy of an errant cup of microwaved coffee; she's fine). There's no sign of the book at the hospital in question. One hopes that it's being read, at any rate.

I wrote an email to Mr. Bolton's assistant at the American Enterprise Institute to see whether he'd be amenable to replacing the book. However, I know that there are some folks out there reading who have some acquaintance with the former ambassador and who could, perhaps, get his assistant to at least open my email--entitled "Lost Library Copy of 'Surrender is Not an Option.'"

Can't hurt to ask.

UPDATE: I got a swift reply. (Thanks.) Unless one of you fine folks does me a good deed, I'm going to query the publisher.
