Hi,

any idea where I could lay hands on a copy, or PDF of above mentioned book.

There appears to be a copy here. Caveat, I don’t know how legal in terms of copyright it is to access this copy so be careful if that is a concern.

Also your best bet might be to check around with various university libraries and see if they have a copy they are willing to loan you through a local library.

With author, title, ISBN in hand, consultation of [worldcat.org](https://search.worldcat.org/title/1195921) might find a copy in print/in electronic form in the shelves/archives of a a participating library, too (interlibrary loan still is happens, too).

Because [an other thread](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/question-about-o-notation/8219/3) includes a contribution by you signed in Dutch, here the record at [TU Delft](https://tudelft.on.worldcat.org/search/detail/636967405?queryString=FORTRAN%20programming%20for%20civil%20engineers&clusterResults=false&groupVariantRecords=false).

Cool - didn’t know they had books on [archive.org](http://archive.org).

That’s not a pirate site, so should not be a problem - though you have to ‘borrow’ it and read it online.

Curious if they have a limit on how many people can borrow the same book at the same time.

If you dig deep enough, there are some unauthorized uploads of books/material to [archive.org](http://archive.org) still under the embargo of (e.g., European) copyright by the authors / exclusive right of exploitation of (active) publishers on [archive.org](http://archive.org).

Among books you can rightfully borrow, some of the more frequently sought ones ([example CRC Rubber Book](https://archive.org/details/crchandbookofche0000unse_86ed) of which are [multiple editions](https://archive.org/search?query=CRC+physics+chemistry) to pick), go only for 1 h instead of 14 d. (Export to non-daisy formats such as printing can be restrained to them, too.)

Found a hard copy to buy on a Turkish scientific bookshop.  
Price: 153.79 TL shipping included.  
Suppose customs fees will be charged.
