Anyone know where i can steal this book?

Author was embarrassed by it so he took it off Dalkey. 1200 page doorstop

embarrassed about what?

His book.

why

>author has control over book publication

tell me another one.

Dalkey books never go out of print, that is their whole point. So who pulled it?

Thanks for admitting you made it up.

It was Knopf dude.

lets crowdfund it!

and dalkley reprinted it

Has anyone here actually read it?
Is it worth it

The reason that book is expensive is because the book is out of print. The reason the book is out of print is because he pulled the paperback off Dalkey.

Is it worth it? No. It was the furthest extreme of Maximalism. It's nothing special. It's a book in the form of pure obsession of a single trait.

It's so far post-modern that it's existence is pretty much the point. The content within it is fluff.

I don't trust a poster with bad grammar.

we talked to NYRB who reprint out of print books about it and they confirmed that McElroy refuses to give anyone permission to reprint it

What's bad grammar in that post, user?

I usually don't reply to people with bad grammar. That was my first mistake.

Still not answering the question, user.

>tfw you find a copy at your old elementary schools annual book sale
>ran over and saw the price for 2$
>ran down the street sweating and farting constantly looking over your shoulder
>get home and put it on display for all to see
>no one ever recognises it
>two years ago and still haven't read it

I have a natural inclination to disobey.

give it to me

Why are you people so poor ? $100-200 dollars is nothing

Only a downsyndrome retard ass hole nigger cunt would spend that much on a book.

You sound really poor my friend. Most people spend $400+ on a weekend on drinks, food ,etc. Why cant you invest in your hobby ?
If you are a poorboy you should be reading, you should fix your worthless life

SHouldn't

>women and men
>elementary school

at least say high school for believability

>$400 a weekend

Jesus. I'm a broke NEET and basically live $15 at a time, which is what I need to buy gas and cappuccinos for one day to go to my favorite cafe and read all afternoon. I turn down offers for gifts and invitations to go on trips because I have hundreds of dollars worth of books still to buy on my immediate wishlist.

It's okay. Probably not worth the time it took. Their are better McElroys.

He's been working with Dzanc. He'll probably die before he finishes proofing it but he's willing to let it be printed if he's sure there won't be errors. Even has a cover ready to go.

*there jesus christ reading that book ruined my eyesight

It's on ligben as an epub.

a.pomf.cat/jgdnkr.epub

Don't know how accurate it is, not going to cross reference my copy.

pomf =3

this old piece of shit is hoarding copies

how many? i could pull a Raskolnikov and end him for some copies

at least 4 on the shelf there

I only see three, second from the top on the left, one without a dust jacket

People donate them. They aren't exactly from the schools library

3 knopfs and a dalkey

>He thinks Women and Men was the furthest extreme of Maximalism

Read Smuggler's bible instead

have you read hypersphere you nigger? it's not maximalist in the least

no

If you like maximalist memes this is about as maximalist as it gets. It doesn't even have a protagonist and nearly every chapter that's narrated (two aren't) is narrated by a different character.

is this book online? can I read it on the interwebs

Women & Men is on libgen as an epub, so you could get it for free. It's only physical copies that are hard to come by.

cool. sorry stupid question. I don't know shit about e readers. but could I buy a shit used e reader then put that onto the e reader?

>search it up at my university's library
>"Available; 3rd Floor"
>mfw

shit's getting ganked

Probably, yeah. Not a kindle though, it'd have to be a kobo I think, since those use that format. Though also you could just download calibre and read it on your computer.

careful of the sensors walking out

>tfw know people who worrk at the library
>"none of us give a fuck"
>bleep bleep bleep!
>le_embarassed_face.jpg
>"dude I just checked this out, can you put it over the thing so it doesn't beep?"
>"ah that happens, here you go man"

and voila folks

What said: I recommend you take the time to look at the pages. Flip through the book a couple of times and see if you can spot any ripples. If you see two pages snag, look to see if they're stuck farther along than the binding.
If your library's copy is a hardcover, all you have to do is look down its spine (underneath its cover) when you hold it open. Have a long, flat, narrow tool handy and be prepared to cut the session short and return another day when it gets too crowded. Paperbacks are a little harder, but not impossible.

Appreciate your advice and this is actually a cool bit of knowledge but my way's easier. Just act stupid if they get suspicious. No planting, no tools, no looking over my shoulder, in and out.

If whoever's up front looks like a narc, then maybe I'll try that. Cameras everywhere though.

tfw it's already been stolen from my universities library

disgusting

HEY

don't steal books if you're not going to read them

you little shitstains

>better McElroys

Would love a recommendation. Better and also shorter, yes?

I'll get to page ten, write it off as impenetrable, pretentious shit then go back to watching Family Guy.

But in all seriousness, the only person who checks out Veeky Forums for pleasure at my library is me. Most of its patrons are fratboys/sorostitutes with technical majors who are required by their masters to study there.

smuggler's bible, lookout cartridge, night soul

>it's another nigger thread
If you just want to read it, check it out from the library or download it. If you absolutely have to have it on your shelf, put in half a week at a McJob.
