That's not cool

I finished reading Marilyn Monroe: The Biography by Donald Spoto yesterday afternoon. The book was very good. I think it is the best Monroe biography I have read so far and recommend it to anyone who loves Marilyn.

But I did have one problem with the book. In the last chapter of the book, the last page was missing. Someone cut the page out of the book. I guess whoever did it really needed that page. So I don't know how the book ends and that makes me angry. I spend a week reading it and I don't have closure. No ending. Just cut off in mid sentence. That is not the way a library book is supposed to be.

When I returned the book today, I said to the librarian that they should be aware of something in the book. The librarian replied, "A dirty passage?" I said no. I told her the last page of the last chapter was missing and showed her how someone cut it out of the book. It would be nice if they could copy the page and place it in the book for others to enjoy.
