[nesfa-reading-group] Davy by Pangborn NOT available in any Massachusetts library

[Richard Schwartz]

I've been reading "Davy" from Kindle Unlimited.

I would be astounded if MITSFS (mitsfs.mit.edu) did not have a copy on reserve. (It's also likely to have a borrowing copy, but borrowing costs $15/year or $5 for 3 months.) It's very likely that NESFA has a copy. /CHip From: reading-group <reading-group-bounces at lists.nesfa.org> on behalf of David G.

I will read it and return it soon, so maybe you can request it and wait on the queue.

HOWEVER, there are NO copies of Davy in the Minuteman Library Network and NO requestable copies of Davy in the Commonwealth catalog for all of Massachusetts. The cheapest used copy on Amazon is $10.99, but most are a lot more. (Even on eBay, all copies for sale are $11 or more.) However, I did find two copies on Abebooks for just under $10 including shipping. If I wasn't barely living on a survival level due to a lifelong medical condition, I wouldn't have an issue with buying it, but I won't have the credit to do so until January. I can't read a book online - but there's not even a Kindle version anyway, though there appears to be a collected works of Pangborn on kindle. I wish we'd only choose books for which printed copies are available from the library.
