Well, I believe that, strictly speaking, the Kama Sutra qualifies as a religious text, and I do have some of those...
Anyway!
Would this book be found in the non-fiction section of the average library? Include adult non-fiction, juvenile non-fiction, YA non-fiction, New non-fiction, and Large Print non-fiction, but NOT the biographies, as parts of the non-fiction section.
Does my library system own or have a record for it?

"Wait, maybe you have a different definition of 'fiction.'"
Or you have a different definition of "part". I tried warning you all twice to pay attention to the wording of that question/answer, but no-one listens...

Is it possible? Are we finally getting somewhere w/ this? Was Ultra Magnus really the key to everything? I'm quaking in my pants w/ the excitement.
