I’ve been looking for a digital copy of Kronecker Wallis’ text, “Euclid’s Elements”, on the major sites (AA, ZL, LG, VK, IRC, Scribd, Mobilism, rutracker, Ocean of PDF, etc.) but they’ve all come up empty.
A lot of the books I usually look for can’t be found on the major sites and while I’ve made a few (several) book requests on Z-Library, it may take months or years for those to come to fruition.
How do you all find more obscure/niche books or newer texts? The book in question costs £200 excluding shipping, so buying it isn’t in my 2023-2024 budget. There are also a ton of books from the Library of Congress I’d LOVE to have uploaded eventually, but that’s easier said than done.
Are there sites/trackers dedicated towards making digital scans of physical books (like the Internet Archive)?
Thank you! Another commenter mentioned they found a book by the same name on MAM, but by an author I didn’t see mentioned on the publisher’s site, so it’s very likely a separate work by someone else. It is fairly huge, so making a digital scan is a project in and of itself.
From the excerpts on the site, there wasn’t any 1 specific author (I didn’t see anyone with the name you mentioned in my skim), but several contributors, since it was a Kickstarter project funded by interested parties who wanted a modernized and compiled version of all 13 volumes in 1 book.
Thank you either way! You didn’t have to do that, but you did which I’m very thankful for! ☺

The only place I found it was on myanonamouse. It’s a pdf with side-by-side greek english with translations by Richard Fitzpatrick.
Is this the book?
