Arnold, perhaps you noticed that "linguistic syntacticians" were not specifically included among groups permitted legitimate access to Abrahams's book.  I believe the publishers were correct in removing it from your possession.

i just want to complain. my precious copy of Abrahams (1963) seems to
have disappeared, possibly in the Great Removal West. Jackson's Get
Your Ass In the Water... is there, but not Abrahams. damn.
