What is Wrong with this Picture?

This is a book I needed today, but it is apparently instead going to sit in a UPS-branded spa facility, IN-STATE, until a scant day before I need to hand in a paper on it. Awesome!

Title/author/edition or ISBN? Betcha I can find it in a college or university library with open stacks access and/or a community borrowing program in the metro-Boston area.

(disclaimer: this is what I do all day for distance-learning students at one of my jobs)

Huh! That would actually be kind of ideal!
It's Dogs : A Startling New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior & Evolution, by Raymond Coppinger and Lorna Coppinger.
If you should run across it, I'd be quite pleased.
Otherwise I will buy another copy, and I will live with it.

I am taking A Class, because I signed up for it when I had a job and everything.

ISBN 0684855305.
Startling new, not just new. That's another book, I guess.

Man you should try UPSing things cross border. They like to use their own "customs wranglers" or whatever which always adds a fee of at LEAST fifty bucks COD. EVEN IF YOU TELL THEM NOT TO.
