The Internet Archive has lost its appeal in Hachet...
I’ve purchased quite a few old books from online booksellers based on my browsing of them through IA so I hope, at least, there could be some way to still expose these old treasures to people so they could somehow acquire a printed copy of them.

Piracy is realistically the only option for books that are not printed but also not in the public domain.

Big publishers don’t care for those cases, but they’d rather you don’t spend time with that and buy a fresh, new book they just printed.
