While looking for something to read I happened upon a review of Mike Resnick's book Birthright: The Book of Man (1982). I don't know how this slipped under my radar. I suppose I was either under the water (On a Submarine), or in a drunken haze. In either case I'm searching for a copy to borrow.

So does anyone have this book? And I suppose more importantly, is anyone willing to lend it to me?

Purtty Please.

It's only $12 on Amazon.

Out of stock, with no projected delivery date. In my experience when an item is listed this way they try to get a copy, then after a couple of months an email is received Canceling the order.

So I looked for a used copy, and all of the ads listing a reasonable price ended up being "Not available". Ads where it's available want ridiculous $ (over $140), hence my trying to borrow a copy.

If you don't mind listening to it, it's available as an audiobook from both Audible.com and B&N.
