no *promises*
but my gf is a grad student at a place w/ all the reading material for financial markets and the library has a scanner. it is possible I can sneak in and if it doesn't take too long, could prob get most of the reading digital? while she's busy doing her grad school thing. soonest this would be would be like, the friday after next. and I'd need enough people to be 100% in it.

looks like that doesn't exist anymore, but it's an interesting idea...kinda amazing it didn't happen sooner

ok just to share i googled aaaarg.org for my edification and first hit =
AAAARGaaaarg.org/ - AAAARG.ORG is now at A.AAAARG.ORG.

in fact a quick search suggests that yes, the big textbook w/ most of the material is already out there in pdf form

A.AAAARG.ORG.

so there are two versions of the euro history course up, only seeing the syllabus for one. most of the course material is publicly available stuff that won't take long to collect links to. there is a textbook too, we might be able to find it.

absolutely no moral qualms w/ that, college textbook market is pretty indefensible

My wife has shovelled out something close to $500 in textbooks for the one class she is taking at community college this semester.

Just bein' maybe paranoid, but we might want to deindex or go more private if we're in the ahem grey areas of textbook acquisition. Prob no thing but academic publishers can be aggressive.
