Most libraries order through Baker and Taylor. They have the numbers posted on their website. You have to pay for a logon to see the numbers. Since I have one for my employment, I looked the numbers up for you. The website said demand in the last 30 days was:
South 3023
Midwest6863
West 3510
East 5052
If my calculator is telling the truth, that adds up to 18,448.

Also has these figures
On order with publisher
South 2000
Midwest 3910
West 2000
East 15000
And with these distributors
Koen Dist 6000
Booksource 2
NACS 5000
Partners Mich 2130
Partners West 2499
Book People 1000
All those numbers add up to 39,541

Most libraries who plan to order it have already ordered it. They won't buy more unless there is a lot of local demand to check it out. Our library does not have a long holds list for this book. The 39,541 is probably the accurate number as to copies ordered by libraries.
