Hello,

I am trying to locate an important book which is

Table Numériques Universelles by Marcel Boll

that book is a kind of Abramowitz and Stegun, published in 1964 (3rd edition).

Apparently, not in Amazon, not anywhere,

One of the books of Marcel Boll, containing sequences, numbers and many useful information is : Le mystère des nombres et des formes. but that one can be located, I have a copy in deja vu format, trying to convert the thing into a pdf, not easy.

Does anybody have a copy of that book : TNU from Marcel Boll ?

Best Regards,

Simon Plouffe

Hello, my question was more like : Is that book now public domain ? like the A & S big blue book ? apparently not, I know that I can find the book on the internet if I pay 50 euros for it but since it was published in 1964 and we are 50 years later... thank you for your answer, Simon Plouffe

Hello , it is worst than that. I remember that even here in France, you could hardly get a copy of Les misérables of Victor Hugo because the editor, more or less re-edited the work and just because of that , it was impossible to get an electronic copy of that work even if at the time it was possible to find it in all possible languages except french, unbelievable. ... and it is still the case, you still have to pay officially for it when you can find the work at the Gutenberg site or pay for it on the google books site even if it is public domain now. So both versions exist. This is stupid. I still think that I should get my hand on that book, if ever I go to a library I will copy it on a copier and process the thing on Acrobat and distribute the result, the hell with those copyrights. I bet the family (descendants) don't probably get 1 cent from Dunod, pretty sure. best regards Simon Plouffe
