I may as well just ask here, I would love to have a digital copy of a specific book, but I’m struggling to find it on Annas or Zlib. It’s very academic but also quite new. I do not have access through the university and I’m not finding it on scihub yet either. Are there like, places where people can request academic titles or something? You can dm me if you want!

For academics journals, supposedly you just ask the author for a copy. That’s probably significantly less likely to work for a whole book.
Being a new book, it could be a while before it becomes “available”. Someone has to be both interested in the topic enough to buy the book, and willing to upoad it somewhere. I’d say this could be your chance to contribute to the high seas, but academic books are expensive.

Thanks! And yeah, definitely. It starts at somewhere around 110 euros, and I’m poor lol. If I could I would love to contribute to the high seas though!
