Well, "detective work" on-line can come close to "hacking"...

I went to get LeJeune's "First Chinook Reading Book," and instead I
got "A Rock Painting of the Thompson River Indians," by Teit and
Boas.  So I thought a typo may have been made in the index, and
fiddled with the file number in the generated retrieval string a bit
and got nowhere, dead ends or another work by LeJeune.  About to give
up on that one, on a desperate hunch, I did a search for "Rock
Painting" by Teit.  Could they have simply swapped the two entries?
Anyway, when that title came back, I looked where that work was
supposed to be, and "First Chinook Reading" came up!

The info highway can still be bumpy.
