    Brig of War with 32 cannon, quick enough to outrun patrols but packing enough firepower to take on a Spanish galleon

    what book is it and I'll check to see if it's on there (and can also put in a request if it's not)

      Thanks! It’s Carovaggio The Artist and his Work by Sybille Ebert-Schifferer, and Artemisia Gentileschi by Sheila Barker

        doesn't look like they're on there. If you don't find them through this thread I'll throw up some requests later today

    Search it on Google books and then click "find it in a library" on the left hand side of the page, or on mobile go to the "get this book tab and search in worldcat or with google's library search.

    Google also had like 68 pages of preview on one of the books that you can start reading now.

    #Irchighway sometimes has hard to find books, I recommend hexchat for IRC. Could also ask on various piracy forums on reddit-logo if the text is reasonably meta even with some armtwisting could ask /r/libraryofalexandria
