The paper books have been out of print for over 30 years. I've never seen them in book stores or libraries, and all attempts I've made to purchase them on line have failed. "Buy the paper book" is impossible by any practical measure.

I don't feel entitled to digital editions of these books. Nor do I feel entitled to dead trees. They're merely my go-to example of books that cannot be legally obtained.
