I just wish to state for the record that it seems unnecessary that on the same day that our next-door neighbors break ground on their new driveway with all the requisite jackhammers and sleep-stopping dump trucks, I have to find out—like so many other friends and colleagues—that my work has been pirated by the plagiarism engines of Meta. Please send class action suits and an eighteen-pounder.

Did it ever have an e-book?

Never.

I am wondering if that accounts for some of the patterns I am seeing of what is and is not apparently in LibGen, although clearly not all.

I was beginning to wonder if that is the pattern.

They've got my mother's first book, which has been up on the Internet Archive, but only as a scan. Whether they've been able to digest the text, who knows. (It exists in ebook form on my computer and a couple of other people's, but not yet, to my knowledge, elsewhere.)
