| Dec 4, 2016 at 19:49 | comment | added | Jeffrey Adams | In 2011 I looked into acquiring the rights to Carter's book. My plan was to publish it very expensively, perhaps on Google books, and donate the small profit, if any. I learned that due to Carter's ill health it would not be pracitical to work with him. Contrary to what Loren Spice was told, the publisher told me that they owned the rights. Nevertheless we got bogged down in trying to work out an arrangement. It might be worth trying again, I know many people would like to have access to this beautiful book. | |

| Dec 1, 2016 at 0:51 | comment | added | LSpice | To follow up on @CarloBeenakker's comment, I e-mailed the publisher, and they said that the rights had reverted to Carter and I would have to contact him. I contacted him and never heard back. That certainly doesn't automatically justify downloading it elsewise, but it does say that there's not a very obvious legal alternative, and that the answer to at least part of (2) may be "no". | |

| Nov 30, 2016 at 13:43 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | you can download it as a djvu file on Library Genesis --- while there are ethical concerns regarding this library, for cases such as this I would think its use acceptable | |
