Does anybody here have the mimeographed notes Homotopy theory and duality, by P.J. Hilton, Cornell University, 1959 ?
I guess that those notes were never published online.
I believe that some topologist member here could have it. Thanks for a while.

$\begingroup$ Dear @Sigur: You may want to consider asking at the algtop-l mailing list. You may have better luck there. $\endgroup$– Ricardo AndradeCommented Sep 5, 2013 at 0:07

$\begingroup$ @RicardoAndrade, thanks for attention and suggestion. Are you a member of that list? $\endgroup$– SigurCommented Sep 5, 2013 at 0:08

$\begingroup$ Many topologists subscribe to that list; many more so than are likely to hang out at mathoverflow. $\endgroup$– Ricardo AndradeCommented Sep 5, 2013 at 0:11

$\begingroup$ Is it possible to do a search on the list to know if someone asked that book before? $\endgroup$– SigurCommented Sep 5, 2013 at 0:12

1$\begingroup$ The list archives are here. However, they have no search function. A quick search through the dominant search engine revealed no reference to those notes in the mailing list, though. $\endgroup$– Ricardo AndradeCommented Sep 5, 2013 at 0:16

Hilton's lecture notes were published by Gordon & Breach (1965). I guess many libraries will have it, and you can buy a copy online.

I have a copy right here in my office. If you need something specific, I'd be happy to scan in a few pages for you.
In addition, I should mention that if you're looking for a readable introduction homotopy that takes the point of view of Eckmann–Hilton like Hilton's book, I would highly recommend "Introduction to Homotopy Theory" by Martin Arkowitz. Arkowitz was one of Hilton's first doctoral students, and his book just came out a couple years ago.
