If ever you see a PDF for sale, especially with the Library creative-commons copyright notice or something that looks like it, we’d be glad to hear. Most we’ve heard of so far are legitimate sellers of their own copies, but every now and then there’s one that isn’t.

We don’t want peoples’ names aired about before we’ve had a chance to look the matter over, in order to protect the truly innocent.
