I got an art book with recipes for mixing colours. You have no idea what a help that is, and something that I havenāt seen before. It was pure luck I scored that at the op shop.
Itās so fucked you canāt share and archive resources. If it wasnāt a crime I would be a volunteer archivist scanning or photographing rare or important books and uploading them. Just so things donāt disappear when they go out of print and physical copies dwindle.
Iāve also missed out on getting the Morpho books because I didnāt want to click a random link on social media to download them and now theyāll be gone off the Internet Archive.
Open Library has scans of older books online.
Thanks, Iāll check it out
Just concerned about the direction of thisā¦ thereās increasing crackdowns on lower risk sharing and itās affecting the grey areas I used to hang around
