Anyone here familiar with the LOC process? Can you download books that are sitting in this huge warehouse with some gov employee scanning and saving every page?

Seriously, I honestly have no idea.

I would like to read Keith's books w/o paying the prices those books are commanding today.

I will check the interlibrary loan system at the local library tomorrow. Maybe they will turn something up.

Thanks.

Try Amazon.com or Alibris or other Online book dealers. They often have gun books for MUCH less than specialty dealers do.

TN RAT - Try the inter-library loan. Over the years, our little local library has rounded up many books for me. It is a great service. Sometimes it takes a while. I don't recall ever getting charged, but I have not done it for some time.
