Just because you're allowed to purchase it doesn't mean it's available. And Macm has decided not to make their ebooks available for lending. (I tend to think this is a violation of the first sale doctrine, and would love to see a clever programming house figure out their own DRM method and start loaning out Macmillan ebooks, just to watch the sparks fly.)
