I don't think there's anything wrong with printing out and collating a Wikipedia entry if it's clearly indicated on the cover that the content of the book is what is available online for free. Some people may want to have the information in a hard copy format without having to print it out

Hard to imagine someone so cheap or stupid that they can't print it themselves or ask Kinko's to do it. However IF the first line and front cover said something like A compilation of Wikipedia entries that likely contain mistakes on the life and work of Lillian Gish than fine. It is beyond my

Hello All, We're doing the VHS--DVD upgrade bit and I've had a request to replace our VHS version of Star Wars Trilogy. I would like to get the Complete Saga but it was only released on Blu-Ray in September and now there are rumblings that it will be released in 3d sometime this year. Does

One of my favorites is the musical Heißer Sommer. It's like the DDR's solution to Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. There's a line in one of the songs that translates to something like, We're a collective not a gang! Definitely not as heavy as Fassbinder. Danielle Reay Library

Anyone know where we might find a VHS or DVD version of SIX FEET OF THE COUNTRY (1982)? It's a 30-minute film adaptation of Nadine Gordimer's book by the same title. I'm having a very difficult time finding it available in any form for purchase with the exception of a free (for paid

The site DL4all.com won't actually have it - they list your search request in their results and as you saw, try to get you to pay for a subscription before you find out they actually don't have it. This is one of those illegal piracy/ digital locker sites. They use words like trusted and full

Would this by chance be one of the CITY LOVERS/ COUNTRY LOVERS stories? I had an exceptionally rare copy of this in one of those old padded early VHS cases and I actually donated it to a University. I would check OCLC for this but keep in mind it has been out of print for over 25 years so the most

Yes, this a collection of short films based on Nadine Gordimer's short stories. The collection title is listed as SIX FEET OF COUNTRY, but CITY LOVERS COUNTRY LOVERS are two of the 5-6 titles that are part of this collection. According to the various OCLC records there are really only about

Try the Univ of Michigan ( just make sure they loan it as opposed to copying it). I donated my copy there so you should have some cred on it. Should have kept it and rented it out myself. On Wed, Jan 11, 2012 at 12:16 PM, Sayre, J. Richard rsa...@monmouthcollege.edu wrote: Yes, this a

Who knows...I stopped paying attention when I heard that the Blu-Ray versions are altered even more than the special edition (post-1997) releases, and don't include the original theatrical release versions. There are plenty of secondhand DVD copies available on Amazon Marketplace. If your VHS

Sadly, I've previously spotted many of these books for sale on Amazon. There's a generic publisher name, no indication that they've merely printed pages from the internet. You have to be paying attention to notice that it's a 7 page publication... Barb Bergman | Media Services Interlibrary
