Out of print books

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Or a lot extra: amazon.com often charges very high prices for out of print
books.  Try www.mxbf.com or www.bibliofind.com first.  I've used the
former myself, and found it very helpful; it automatically connects you to
a number of electronic book search services, including amazon.com (when I
used it last).
