photocopying, copyright issues

Hey,

I desperately need to find a place where I can photocopy a whole book. They are resources for my job but so far I've gone to tons of places who refuse to copy the book due to copyright issues.

I dont mind doing the copying myself if i have to stand there for hours, that is fine. I just need the whole book to be photocopied...does anyone know a shop, ANYWHERE, that is willing to do this??

I never realized how lucky we are in Canada when we can just walk into a staples and photocopy as much as we want without any one caring.....

Wouldn't it be far cheaper (and legal - although criminality obviously doesn't bother you) to buy another copy of the book?

I would love to buy the book, but it is not available in Hong Kong at any stores I've checked out. I could buy it online through amazon but they do not offer international expedited shipping options. I am studying a course as part of my work, and the course is in effect now and I do not have time to order online and wait for it to come. So far I've got a hold of the books from public libraries but some of them I cannot renew.....

Eh? Amazon definitely does offer "Priority Express" which will deliver in 2-4 days internationally. See here for details on the UK site: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/cust...odeId=11075011

Go to different shops and ask them to copy 2 or 3 chapters at a time.
