Anyone else ever had serious trouble getting a hold of a specific edition of a book (specific translation or whatever)? Bloody infuriating.

Neither any of my local book stores nor Amazon seem to have an unabridged copy of Das Kapital. And from what I understand the abridged versions are pretty arbitrary in what they leave out. It'll be up at the Marxists online archive but I don't feel like reading what's meant to be a tough book whilst burning my eyes out.

Picture related and specifically chosen because of how Marx attracts the users on this site.

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 14 02:20:14 2010 No.911588 Presumably you have particular edition in mind. What's the ISBN?

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 14 02:33:14 2010 No.911663 I know this is crazy, i just thought it up, but you could always get it done at a self-publisher. >suddenly the idea of printing classics on my own terms >dick hard >i love /lit/

>>	Anonymous Wed Jul 14 02:44:14 2010 No.911695 Penguin 3 vol 1970s intros by mandel etc translations from MEGA in current print with a MEGA grundriesse. Obviously doesn't have a vol 4 but theories of surplus value is readily available.
