ok folks, I have for a couple years now been trying to get the complete works of Seneca from U of Chicago press in their original cloth bindings. A couple were easy to find, a couple took much longer, but I now have 6/7. The one I'm missing is Hardship & Happiness. I've scoured the internet and continue to look for it every couple months in case it pops up on abebooks or somewhere else, but I have yet to find it. Part of the problem is that UChi press start making these abysmally shitty hardcovers after the first edition, but they re-used the same ISBN as used for the first printing, so the only way I would be able to distinguish the shitty one from a good one is if the seller has a picture or includes extra information in the description. I've contacted sellers dozens of times asking whether it's the cloth or the cheap version, but every single time, they say they're just shipping from another location and they don't have access to the book to check.

here's the book -- https://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/H/bo5759240.html
isbn -- 9780226748320

Does anyone here have it? Or any idea where I could look? Are there services that can help people track down rare books? At this point I'd be willing to pay hundreds of dollars for a copy in decent or better condition. There is someone somewhere with a copy of it who would be happy to sell it for the price I'm willing to offer. I just don't know who that person is or where to find them.
