Out of curiosity, how many psychology books published in 2020 and that are freely redistributable (in the public domain i.e. not copyrighted or have been purchased under an open library license, etc.) do you have access to?

Just curious since in one of my nephew's practice, they spend a good chunk of cash each month on the software that allows them to run a lending library with user ID, number of loans and loan length controls for their professional ebooks.
