I’m feeling depressed as hell. Internet Archive lost a copyright lawsuit and rare books or resources that could be unavailable in any other way might be lost.

I have to go to eBay or Amazon for even a hope of finding some classic art books secondhand and even then a used copy could be $50, $70, $100 plus. If I can even find it.
