An example of unavailable fiction and non-fiction... This afternoon at Powell's Bookstore, I picked up copies of Shelby Foote's "Shiloh" and his "The Civil War: A Narrative - Part 1" (I'm in a Civil War thing right now).

Just for the heck of it, I searched the internet for *legal* ebooks of either. Nothing found, though I did find all three parts of The Civil War Narrative on the darknet. Both are in print and available in paper at Amazon. These aren't esoteric, fringe books and "Shiloh" is fiction.
