A couple of months ago I went there to photocopy something from Riders and they told me they had disposed of that whole set, too. To quote the librarian, "You might be the only person who looked at that set in the last decade."

In a library, space costs money.

You may be right, Phil. I haven't been to the reference library for over a decade and the service data may have been disposed of. I am curious to check.

The problem is the unique Canadian service data and where to find it.
