What to do if you can't get a textbook yet

  - order a copy online (e.g., Amazon.com
  or Ecampus.com)
  
 - check out the copy that's been put on
  library reserve
  
    - it will be on 1-hour check-out only, suitable
    for xeroxing but not reading
  
 
   - share a copy with a friend (or future
  friend)
  
 - read the electronic version in the Chemistry
  Commons (on most of the hard drives)
  
 - read Chapter 1 in another organic textbook
  (they're all pretty similar)
  
 - wait until they come in (we hope that
  will be by the end of this week)
