And I, the humble servant for the book preservation project (BPO), shall patiently await the missing dialog between a German U-boat captain and his immediate commander. Perhaps these pages contain a secret, a secret that Booksharians are not permitted to read.

What could it be doing? Does it contain a secret formula coveted by many? What was really on pages 392 and 393? My faithful reference librarian, not to be put off by evil subterfuge, has placed a trace and requested that any available copy, known or otherwise, be routed immediately to our branch. She is not a woman to be trifled with! I expect it will be there complete with missing pages by at least Tuesday afternoon. Stay tuned for late breaking updates.
