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.

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.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

It was found for me by someone else! I am amazed.

What a dope site!

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh nice! I've never heard of that before. Bookmarked. Thanks again!

You rock! Thanks for the link. This is the sort of thing that'd be cool to mirror... Wonder how big it is?

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!

It is an aggregator, pedabytes.

[-] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Can I get the link too? The book looks interesting
