> But do you have the companion volume "Where's My Cow?"?

You've gotta love the 'marketing' department which decides that a book is
a children's book, and therefore belongs in the children's section. Not,
as one might suspect, with the book to which it is the intended companion.
And not even with any indication in that place that it exists. If you
didn't already know, and ask as to its location, then blissful ignorance
will remain yours.

Yes, I eventually got my hands on a copy of "Where's My Cow?". But only
because I knew about it beforehand and was specifically looking for it.
