Some advice to the person with the ethical dilemma concerning The
Juggling Book, by Carlo, and the bureaucracy of libraries:

Nowadays, Carlo's book really isn't very good compared to other
offerings. It doesn't have enough pictures, and is rather out of date.
So, it is of little use to most non-jugglers. The only reason a juggler
would want it (and I presume the reason you want it) is that it is an
interesting collectible. I suggest that you help out the non-jugglers of
the world by using the libraries bureaucracy to your advantage. STEAL
the book. The library will never know. In return, donate a new copy of
The Complete Juggler (or some similar text) to the library (they of
course, prefer hardcovers... good luck). 

I think that in this case the ends justify the means. In the end, you
will have the book you want for your collection, the library will have a
brand-new, up-to-date, much-better-than-Carlo book, and you will save a
few souls from Carlo's confusing text, making it easier for them to
learn juggling.

It is always easier to apologize than to ask permission.
