Could someone help me pirate a book? I can't find it anywhere and I really need it for my degree. (hexbear.net)

Hello folks - I've tried all.the usual spots like Anna's archive and Z library and so on to no avail. This is the book in question -

https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Theater_and_Film.html?id=W7HdXRCLcoIC&source=kp_book_description&redir_esc=y

There's a copy of it on internet archive but it's only accessible to American people with impaired sight it seems.

Anyone know a way around it?

Seriously.

And I know this is backwards thinking but the idea that the policy is "Well give you this book for free but only if it's exceptionally difficult for you to read it" is some cartoonishly cruel means testing.
