I went to my local, very-small-southern-Bible-Belt-Town library asking for a copy of Children of Lucifer: The Origins of Modern Religious Satanism, which is a dense, scholarly book (extensively researched!, lots of end notes!, published by the Oxford University Press!), and not even remotely sensationalist. I put in a request for an interlibrary loan, because they didn't have a copy in the system that my library is part of; I assumed that it would need to come from a university.

Not unexpectedly, I never received a call, email, text, or anything at all following up on my request. I strongly suspect that they "lost" it.

The book is considerably less expensive now; I think the exchange rate is why it was previously so expensive.
