Especially given you are responding to a bunch of disabled or neurodivergent PhD students and independent researchers who already have accessibility problems. But my question is did you get all high and mighty to the tenured people saying they have PDFs to give away?

Also you followed me for months and I requested PDFs as well, and you didn’t get rude at me. Is it just Boydell then that you think no one should have PDFs of?

@AdmiralHip I can't control what others do. I have said how sorry I am to@HalstedMedieval for any hurt caused. I work for a small firm that makes academic works available. We rely on sales to keep us afloat. I don’t quite know what else you expect me to do or say. -
Why has this s* started again? Covid is hard times for PhDs. If you can afford the book, do so. If you can’t, share. If you aren’t in a rush post-Covid, use a library; ask to buy or ILL. Boydell do good books, are small, and widespread sharing threatens their business model. Fin.
