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!
