now, if i were a book

- say, for a hypothetical example, a book of Dorothy Sayers short stories - and someone had put me up high where a small child couldn't get me because she had already torn one of my almost-40-year-old pages, then where could I possibly be?

I've renewed it twice and it's an old hardback, so I might be paying through the nose for its replacement if I don't find it in the next month or so. Though they have it reprinted, but in paperback and I can get it $14.40 from B&N.

And then once I pay for it, I'll find it, right?

So geeeeeeeez where did I put it??
