Me:  Hello?
Caller: "Hi, its the Public library calling to let you know that we have an inter-library loan here for you to pick up"
Me: "Great! Which one is it?"
Caller: "Errmm, Um........ Well..."
Me: "Something unpronouncable in German?
Caller: "Yes" (sounding very relieved)
Me: "Excellent!  I'll be in to pick it up soon"

Guess the copy of "Landsknechte und Reisläufer: Bilder vom Soldaten. Ein Stand in der Kunst des 16. Jahrhunderts." that I requested has come in. I'll post reviews of the other books I got via ILL last week soon, one looks like a real winner  "Civic Culture And Everyday Life in Early Modern Germany " . I'm not sure if its $126 dollar's worth of winner yet (current asking price on Amazon), but it certainly looks interesting.
