I’ve been looking for a digital copy of Kronecker Wallis’ text, “Euclid’s Elements”, on the major sites (AA, ZL, LG, VK, IRC, Scribd, Mobilism, rutracker, Ocean of PDF, etc.) but they’ve all come up empty.

A lot of the books I usually look for can’t be found on the major sites and while I’ve made a few (several) book requests on Z-Library, it may take months or years for those to come to fruition.

How do you all find more obscure/niche books or newer texts? The book in question costs £200 excluding shipping, so buying it isn’t in my 2023-2024 budget. There are also a ton of books from the Library of Congress I’d LOVE to have uploaded eventually, but that’s easier said than done.

Are there sites/trackers dedicated towards making digital scans of physical books (like the Internet Archive)?

Thank you!

    This is the official URL.

    From the excerpts on the site, there wasn’t any 1 specific author (I didn’t see anyone with the name you mentioned in my skim), but several contributors, since it was a Kickstarter project funded by interested parties who wanted a modernized and compiled version of all 13 volumes in 1 book.

    Thank you either way! You didn’t have to do that, but you did which I’m very thankful for! ☺
