Hmmm. I get everything. What is your zip code? Maybe close to you only only
colleges and universities have the book? I do somehow seem to have access on
one computer via UCLA, though I don't know when that came about. My other
computer I'm pretty sure is just me.
Originally I think World Cat was only available to librarians.
Maybe one has to register, which is free?
