Geoff is entirely correct.
These books are under copyright and the copies sent around are entirely
illegal. As Senior Techncial Editor of this series I will have to notifiy
the the Managing Editor and the Santa Barbara Museum of this Breach of
Copyright.
The entire 14-volume set is fully in print and available for purchase from
the Santa Barbara Museum at very low prices. It was our intention to use
print and binding methods that would keep the cost low and to encourage
students to purchse whichever volumes they need.
