a challenge

The question of why!

Well at first I was just curious, it was listed as a rare Utopian/Dystopia book.

So that made me curious... a rare book? how rare could it be? Well apparently really rare!

Now I am looking for it because I can't find it, its an interesting challenging hunt. Though with my luck if I do find it will probably be super expensive!

Its not on ebay, Amazon, Biblio, Bookfinder, Half and a number of other spots that I have looked. Its not at any of my local Universities, though there is a copy at U of Missouri in St. Louis, which is NOT close to where I live.

The irony is when I mentioned it to a friend he remembered reading it in High School (which was a while back ago for him). He doesn't have the copy anymore but I thought it ironic he knew exactly which book I was talking about!

Anyway apparently it does deserve the Wikipedia listing as a "one of the rarest books in the English language"

@Jswolf
I was not sure if it was okay to post it in the reading recommendations, since I am not actually recommending it, but rather looking for it.
