This is good advice. I am very conscious that we in
London have better resources than Brazil or Venezuela.
However, books like the Battisti edition do not come
cheap and if copyright is routinely broken new ones
will not be produced. What you say seems like a good
compromise.

A question of my own: is anybody archiving 2002?
