This morning I used a card catalog to look up this book in the library in my office building. A Card Catalog?!? Really? I haven't used one of those since probably 1996. It is good to know that the US Government is totally on top of things and at the cutting edge of information technology.

As for the book: Likelihood by A. W. F. Edwards. It should be a doosey of a mathematical theory and practice book. I bet there is not one mention of birds with in the text.
