Yes it would be nice if everyone in the group had e-book readers opening up the alternative of purchasing e-books when that alternative is available and was sensible from a price point of view. Unfortunately at present I am the only member of the group to appreciate the advantage of owning an e-book reader. There was even a temporary gleam in my idea at the idea of purchasing multiple e-book versions of an e-book and converting it to print. I already have an epub version myself and, if I was a dishonest man, that alone could supply as many copies as needed. But I am honest and even when considering actually purchasing as many e-book copies as I would eventually like to have in paper form the issues of copyright are still murky. That and when done I would have nothing that would be of any worth donating to my library.
So based on the various suggestions I have located 10 copies in very good or better condition that will run me in total about $60. More than what I would wish, but better than 10 brand new books, or not being able to make this the monthly selection for the bookclub.
Once more thanks to all.
