hLCan't find book for sale online anywhere, can't do interlibrary loan-- what are my options?
**UPDATE (Day 1):**
Chat with a librarian at Brigham Young University Library in Utah:
10:00 7zv14q5st3rjzd "Adventure Calls" by Katharine Woolley
10:00 hbll\[email protected] mailto:[email protected] Yes! It is available on the fifth floor of the library.
10:01 7zv14q5st3rjzd Would it also be eligible for request through ILL, say if I had my public library request it?
10:01 hbll\[email protected] mailto:[email protected] Yes!
I immediately contacted the Mesa Public Library, who had previously told me the couldn't request the book via ILL and told them that BYU states they can accommodate the request.
Later in the day, I received this email from the Mesa Public Library:
Hello, Unfortunately Brigham Young University did not agree with our conditions on borrowing the book so we are unable to borrow this item from them. At this time we are unable to find a Lending Library for this item and had to cancel the request for it.
**-Interlibrary Loan Department**
I wonder what the conditions were. :(
As suggested by u/yodatsracist, I also contacted the major universities in Arizona and inquired about ILL for non-affiliates. Unfortunately, I struck out with ASU, UofA, and NAU. No luck with the Pima county library or the Flagstaff Public library either.
The search continues.
My next step will be to contact the New York Public Library.

I am looking for a book called "Adventure Calls" by Katharine Woolley, published in 1929 by Minton, Balch & Company, New York. (I've also seen other editions that list publisher as J.J. ittle and Ives Company, New York, and John Murray, London)
According to worldcat.org ttp://worldcat.org the book is available at some libraries in other states, but no where in my home state of Arizona. My local library says they are unable to request the book for me as an interlibrary loan. Is my only option to travel to another state?
My first thought is that this book's copyright has expired. To save myself a trip, I wonder if I could have a friend or family member who lives near a library that has the book go there and snap pictures of every page and share those with me...thoughts?
