Yes.  When I say "I can't find the book tonight", I don't mean that "I
don't know what book Gildea wrote in 1998".  I mean "I own a copy but
can't remember where I left it."  I think it's in a box somewhere
around here.

If you find the topic interesting enough, it's a good bargain at
Amazon.com.  I wanted a copy for my thesis and was happy to find it
there for 95% off.
