There is a paper book I wanted to buy, but it’s not an option. I can only find a paper version used that is being sold for like $200.
The book is called “Parasite Eve”.
Yes, the game was kind of a loose sequel to the book.
I wanted to see about finding copies of super old books from like medieval times and shit. Just copies, mind you. I could really only find authentic style reproductions done by hand that cost thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I just wanted the contents of the books. To read. Not as, like, a piece of friggin' art. 😩
Well I doubt those works are copyrighted. So I’d just find the text remove any special formatting or characters and look for a printing service.
And, you'd be wrong. Works don't lose their copyright just because they go out of print and are hard to find. Thanks to Disney, copyright survived for the length of the authors life plus 90 years.
I think the documents he is referring to existed long before the United States was even a country. I think he is talking about stuff that was literally written like 800 years ago.
