Heh. You're cute. Do you think every book is all ready for you on-line, maybe in kindle form? That we've digitized all printed knowledge? Even of my measly collection of my antique books, most are just lost. You'd have to hunt up an expensive hard copy, or at best an error-riddled POD. Only popular and cult stuff gets transferred, most of the time, and the majority of books are out of print and obscure.
Here, this one's not even that old: find it.
The Cult of Health and Beauty in Germany: A Social History, 1890-1930 - Michael Hau

Literally every book ever written can be found in an average library and you're claiming you can't find them on LINE? LOL
That's like saying you can't find the hay in a needle in a haystack!

Your first statement is such breathtaking bullshit I hope you're a troll. In 2010, there were 8,951 public libraries in the United States with a total of 808 million books and serial volumes. That makes the average library holding roughly 90,000 books. In 2013 alone there were 304,000 titles published in the U.S.. Do you begin to see the problem? A book has less than a 1% chance of being stocked in an average bookstore. The market is so bloated, and sales so down, that the average book sells a few hundred copies in its lifetime. And that's just new stuff: old pulp and dime novels were designed to be consumed and thrown away, and most libraries ignored them. No, we do not have all the books: we don't even have a decent percentage of them. It's an impossible flood.

Is this book good by any chance? Or is it a meme?

Ever heard of a compendium idiot? They put the books into one book to stop them taking up so much room.

Oh, thank Crom.
The Anatomy of Melancholy is pretty rare and obscure.
