Trying to get a copy of a hard-to-get book/pdf
I'm after RG Collingwood's The First Mate's Log. It's in the Intelex Past Masters series of Philosophy texts, which is available online at (most/many?) universities, but I'm not at one. (It seems individuals can't subscribe to that - I just tried.) It's seemingly not on LibGen/Scihub, or archive.org, Gutenberg, or anywhere online, and it seems paper copies start at >$400 for its 130 pages. The book was published in 1939, reprinted in 1994. How can I get hold of it? Paper or ebook is fine. Any ideas? What/where else should I try? I'm willing to pay, but not >$400! Thank you.
Is it important that you own a copy, or do you just want to read it? If the latter, you might try finding it on Worldcat[1], and see if a library near you holds a copy. Note that university libraries will often "sell" a library card to non-students for a relatively small yearly fee, so you might be able to check it out from a local university even if you don't attend school there. Or the local library (public library or university library) might be able to get it for you via Interlibrary Loan.
