    This shows my search results: http://books.google.ca/books?q=editi...as_pt=ALLTYPES

    If I click on Public Domain Only I get this: Sorry - We do not have any other editions of Photo-era Magazine.

    Peter, go to http://books.google.com and in the "Research a topic" box type "Photo-era Magazine, Volumes 48-49". That should find the book for you. Then the story is on page 226 and is titled "The Tale of a Portrait-Lens"

    Hi Bill,

    Thank you for your continuous help, however I did that more than 50 times I'm not getting the magazine in my results, instead I get this: https://www.google.com/search?q=Phot...&tbm=bks&tbo=1. Getting frustrated...

    It is not accessible from Europe (nor Israel) either.

    Ok guys, I did you one better. I downloaded the pdf and saved it in Google Drive. I then made it public so that you can get to it with the following link. Now, this pdf is about 46mb in size, so it's big but not massive (i.e. I wouldn't try it on a phone). It's all of the issues from 1922. The article is in the November issue and starts on page 612 of the pdf and ends on page 617. You should have no problems now

    I think this is a problem Google is not allowing to view magazine outside US. Maybe we could get these old magazines/books here on LF forum for public viewing, if there are no copyright issues.

    Thanks Bill.

    One thing you can try is one of the Anonymous surfing sites. You go to the site and enter the url you wish to visit. They then proxy it to you so that the person you visit has no idea who / where you are. I'm not sure if it would work, but it's an idea. When you finish the 800 or so pages of that year, please let me know and I'd be happy to grab another for you

    Hi Bill,

    Tried that through Anchorfree yesterday, same results . Not sure whether Google is clever but at this point I couldn't trick them.
