Continued secrecy of private knowledge.
Or is it worth $30 for a 1995 paperback, maybe so...
For this small price of love, you could grant it it's freedom, for everyone, forever... http://custodians.online/

I don't have the apparatus to scan it - and I'm not sure a used copy in "very good" condition would make a decent digital copy :P Also, sci-hub.io seems to be down. John

Apparatus? Please. People have access to a knife, digital camera, computer, and internet? Right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesseract_(software) https://opensource.com/life/15/9/open-source-extract-text-images (Anons should skip the cloud version, obviously.) People even routinely share books as jpeg zip archives leaving the OCR to others.
Also, sci-hub.io seems to be down.
Sea the cc or onion.

Ack! Ok, you caught me :P Truth is, I'm a bit of a greedy bastard when it comes to the few spare hours I have in life. Some might say lazy, but I thoroughly resemebl^H^H^H^H resent such remarks!! And, more importantly, I can't bear the thought of actually destroying the paperback, cutting pages away from the spine, even though I know it is for the greater good... I would certainly never ask Mirmir to do it with his copy of the book! I love them too much. Obviously there is some hypocrisy here.

Thanks! John
