I'm trying to read Within the Whirlwind by Evgenia Ginzberg but the only copy I can access is at the British Library. Which has been hacked so I can't use it.

It's for sale on Ebay UK but it costs £40!

I like to mix reading the book and seeing my bezzie. Also that Library is pukka, I miss it.

If you’re absolutely desperate to read it, @Aethelberht, it’s available in the internet Open Library - but the format is a bit clunky and you can only borrow for an hour at a time so you have to keep renewing the loan if you want to read for longer than that. However, I find it a very useful way to access hard-to-get-at books when I’ve run out of all other options!
