Comments on: To Do Tonight, Seattle: Lust http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2008/02/28/to-do-tonight-seattle-lust/ The News Blog of Comics Culture Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:11:33 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.2 by: Tony Isabella http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2008/02/28/to-do-tonight-seattle-lust/#comment-968202 Thu, 28 Feb 2008 22:21:38 +0000 http://pwbeat.publishersweekly.com/blog/2008/02/28/to-do-tonight-seattle-lust/#comment-968202 As I have done with many comics works in the past, I requested my local library get a copy of Lust. After all, they had other Forney books available. Heck, I'm on a waiting list for two of them. Anyway, yesterday, I got a call from one of the acquisition librarians telling me nervously that the library wouldn't be ordering the book. She started giving me the "budget cuts" excuse, but must have remembered that I was one of the more vocal supporters of the library levy that just passed and switched to "it's not really a book we think we should buy." I didn't make a deal about it. This is a pretty conservative town. But I was amused by her obvious discomfort.
