Lots of the sets of books found in a typical law library are done this way
(or at least used to be). I spent several summers in my father's office
filing supplements in the various sets of books.
One big difference here is that law offices pay good money for the
supplements, and need the books up to date...so they're likely to deal
with them appropriately. Lucent probably doesn't want the expense of
sending free supplements to every registered portmaster owner.
