gregory Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 'm lucky - I own a copy of her seminal work, The tarot cards painted by Bonifacio Bembo for the Visconti-Sforza family But it isn't easily available except in potentially dicey sites. It's upward of $400 to buy. I have asked for it to be added to the Open Library - which is a wonderful, totally legit, and free place. They just answered: One way is by logging into openlibrary.org (after creating an Internet Archive account) and adding the book to your "Want To Read" list. We try to consider books that are highly requested by our patrons when making decisions about which books to digitize. This does not guarantee a book will be added. You can sign up to the archive here: https://archive.org and it's the work of moments to add the book to your want to read list. If enough of us do that, maybe, just maybe.... Go on - you know you want to ! If you don't - please do it for everyone else who wants to read it !
gregory Posted June 21, 2022 Author Posted June 21, 2022 Thanks - it's not really for me - I do actually own it. But so many people want to read it !
RunningWild Posted June 21, 2022 Posted June 21, 2022 I'm all for anything that makes books more available rather than less. So here's hoping they'll add the book to their digital library.
Guest Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 A simple google search led me to a complete and readable copy of this book. Its quality is not exceptional, but I think it would still be a joy to peruse with the Visconti-Sforza deck. Although it's hosted in an established site, I'm not absolutely sure that it would pass copyright scrutiny so I shan't post a link. But again, a basic search coupled with a bit of patience led me directly to it, so . . .
gregory Posted December 15, 2022 Author Posted December 15, 2022 If that's the one on scribd.... I try never to use them....
DanielJUK Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 This thread originally started because someone shared the scribd link to it. Please don't post scribd links here, we had to remove it originally because the book is still under copyright and not public domain. An entire pdf copy of it linked here breaks our rules. There is a project to make it available online - http://moakleyupdated.blogspot.com/ gregory started this thread to get the book republished and to make it accessible. It's a difficult situation, no one seems to want to make it available to all again but it's under copyright 😞
gregory Posted December 15, 2022 Author Posted December 15, 2022 Oh the NY library is OK with it and the archive library would love to - but no-one OFFICIAL has digitised it. The library would do IF there were enough demand, I think.
Guest Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 Welp, glad that I opted to err on the side of caution this time. I thought that Scribd is a rather dicey site, though they do have a legit section too.
DanielJUK Posted December 15, 2022 Posted December 15, 2022 I should say some scribd links are totally fine. Some of their content is public domain or has copyright permission. But they also have a lot of stuff which is posted without permission and seems to stay on the site 😔
