Abstract
In 1996, just after Springer-Verlag published my books Additive Number Theory: The Classical Bases [34] and Additive Number Theory: Inverse Problems and the Geometry of Sumsets [35], I went into my local Barnes and Noble superstore on Route 22 in Springfield, New Jersey, and looked for them on the shelves. Suburban bookstores do not usually stock technical mathematical books, and, of course, the books were not there. As an experiment, I asked if they could be ordered. The person at the information desk typed in the titles, and told me that his computer search reported that the books did not exist. However, when I gave him the ISBN numbers, he did find them in the Barnes and Noble database. The problem was that the book titles had been cataloged incorrectly. The data entry person had written Addictive Number Theory.
