My local library system doesn’t have a copy of a book I want to read (Good and Real by Gary Drescher). Is there some way of requesting it from another library system? My other options are buying it online, which would set me back at least 30 dollars, and I don’t know if I want to pay that much. Is there any other way to get a copy?
ETA: I just called my library and they apparently handle these requests for you. I’m going to leave question up here anyway in case someone else is stupid in the same way as me.
Or you could just take the usual option of pirating it: it’s on Libgen.info (no surprise there), and it’s even available through Google—the first two hits for "good and real" filetype:pdf are the book (as is the fifth hit for just "good and real"!).
As books go, you could not ask for getting it to be any easier.
A printer could be a solution. Make a cost estimate. The advantage is that you could print just the first chapter, and then continue only if you liked it. On the other hand, if you like it, you can bind the papers and lend the book to many people around you afterwards.

I prefer physical books for pre-bed reading.
