This is a pretty narrow view of what libraries need to worry about.
There are lots of Works that have no Manifestations, the antiquities
are littered with them (references to things that only existed in the
library of Alexandria, etc.). Just because they're not on our shelf
(or any shelf) doesn't mean we shouldn't acknowledge them.
