And we readers are somehow supposed to know that the book is not a book at all but actually a magazine article, and therefore not in the most accessible database? Even though it is and has been sold as a book for over fifty years? Really?

And are you sure that a magazine copyright covers the material as it appeared in book form? Or was it copyrighted again as a book?

I guess before I download a book I need to hire an intellectual property lawyer--just to be sure that I'm not engaging in some criminal behavior.

I'll repeat: It's not my job to establish the provenance of the book before I read it. But I'm sure the folks at the Internet Archive would be glad of your concern and would look forward to your input about material on their site.
