That is impossible in 99 out of 100 cases, of course. Such old editions typically are not lent out to library patrons any longer, either. Also, do you have an idea how dirty and smelly such old books typically are?
And you can't make notes and highlights inside them. Nope, I always prefer an electronic version over a paper version of a book.

I detest PDFs just as you do, and avoid them whenever I can. It's just that as a literary scholar, you have no choice. No matter how detestable and unwieldy a PDF file is, it's still a better option than reading some randomly modernized, typos-infested EPUB edition of the same work.
