scan the pages using a scanner in the library

I want to read a physical book

Lend the book. Read it. Return it within time.

You borrow it, then take a pic of the pages at home.

Pay a dark refugee a few euros to borrow the book and give it to you. He will never enter that library again and they won't go after a negro.

Not possible, as I want to own it so I can read it whenever I like.

Whenever you have the urge to read it you can go to the library and borrow it.

Print your own book.

You can build a Gutenberg press if you want.

here you go, you filthy little thief, you can print this out https://www.lernhelfer.de/sites/default/files/lexicon/pdf/BWS-DEU2-0160-05.pdf

I think the OP picrel is just illustration. I've no doubt works of Sophocles can be bought everywhere.

buy first hand

No, it's not just illustration, it's that specific book I want. It's special for two reasons: 1. those are the translations of Sophocles's works by Friedrich Hölderlin, the greatest German poet who has ever lived. 2. That edition includes a lengthy introduction by the legendary classicist Wolfgang Schadewaldt and I want to read that. To my knowledge this introduction can't be found anywhere else. (3. lesser reason, I collect books from the "Fischer Bücherei" from the 1950s-1970s)

This is literally the second googol result:

Maybe try reading the thread before replying. It’s not the edition I’m looking for.

Never!

1. borrow the book from the library

2. scan it page by page

3. merge all scanned pages into one pdf file

4. upload it online for others to enjoy

5. problems don't

 

that's what I've done in the exact same situation

Good for you, but has nothing to do with my situation.

It's the solution to your problem, you lazy twat.

No, it isn't. I'm not interested in digital books you consoom through screens that literally make your brain shrink.

Get another edition of that book. Make a sticker of the barcode of the original book and stick it on the edition. Return that instead.

Have you heard of printers? You can print and bind your scan. Seriously, it's beyond me how you managed to survive this long.

Huh. Interesting.

As said above:

1. borrow;

2. scan;

3. print;

4. bind;

5. ???

6. PROFIT

When you are a collector you are not satisfied to have a crude copy of the thing you want to collect.

If you were a collector you'd know where to buy, what places to keep tab on, or even people whom let you know if a copy is available. We have antiquaries, auction houses, and well collectors themselves. I'm sure Germany all has that and more.

every charity shop that focuses on books will have the theban plays and probably in a less ugly form than the op
