So I bought a cheap copy of Stainless Steel Carrot (John Morton Biography) on Alibris and just discovered that page 193-194 has been torn out. Anyone have a copy of the book that they could scan/photograph the missing pages for me???

My library has a inner library loan program and I found the book at the Orangeville High School Library and had it sent to local library. I am 140 miles from Orangeville, Illinois.

So I mailed the librarian a letter asking to buy the book. "No, you cannot buy it but we will put your name on it should it go to the sale bin".

So the future looks bright!

Awesome! I knew someone here would come through for me...

I highly recommend the book though I just started reading it.

Personally, I would have put in pages from Moby Dick just to see what the teacher said about his report.

And here I thought it was an actual stainless steel carrot from some random limited edition Rabbit or something.

I had to pay $10 for the cheapest copy on alibris.com. It was an ex-library copy and pretty beat up but it is readable (with the pages above). Nice copies are pretty valuable now, though.

FWIW - I met John Morton at Mid-Ohio this past summer and figured is was time to read the book.
