I really hope the rest of the archive comes back soon. I was in the middle of a book and it was a book I hadn’t read since I was a kid.
Yeah, I could pay for it or wait for it to come via interlibrary loan (it’s not exactly a well-known book), but I really didn’t need a physical copy. And it isn’t even all that long.
Damn it’d be a shame if someone DM’ed me the name of the book and I had to go looking to see if there’s an epub/pdf version available for download in certain places. A real shame indeed.
I don’t care saying what book it is right here, because I’ve looked for both and came up wanting. It’s not available normally as an ebook for purchase, so I have my doubts.
Basically, the IA had it because they scan in masses of texts without even caring what they are. As long as they get a copy and it isn’t in the archive yet, they’ll scan it in.
Anna’s Archive has some torrents they ask people to seed. I’m seeding a smaller one right now. You can look into that if you want to help out—nobody’s expected to mirror the entire archive!

Sigh.

FWIW, it’s pretty amusing.
Oh thats a super off the wall book. It barely exists anywhere let alone an ebook. I stand corrected and humbled.
It was found for me by someone else! I am amazed.
Damn! And I thought I knew all the weird nooks to find books online… I have much to learn
I got you fam, dm you a link in 1 sec.
Wow! Thanks! I looked and looked!
Anna’s Archive, just author’s name search. :)
Oh nice! I’ve never heard of that before. Bookmarked. Thanks again!
What a dope site!
You rock! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing that’d be cool to mirror… Wonder how big it is?

It is an aggregator, pedabytes.

Can I get the link too? The book looks interesting
That’s why I download everything
Downloading books you have to borrow from the IA is not easy these days.
