John Baez (Jul 10 2022 at 21:15):I got an email saying
I am a student looking for books that treat basic subjects using a categorical framework. Would you know where one can find an electronic or physical copy of Lawvere's book Algebra Step by Step, which is listed on his website?
John Baez (Jul 10 2022 at 21:15):I had never even heard of this book! Is it available anywhere?

It's mentioned on https://github.com/mattearnshaw/lawvere, but unfortunately there isn't a copy available there.
David Michael Roberts (Jul 11 2022 at 04:27):Neither ISBN returns a result at WorldCat.org, nor does the title
David Michael Roberts (Jul 11 2022 at 04:28):I can't find a webpage for the listed publisher, either. It seems like a small university press that may have only had a short lifespan
Chad Nester (Jul 11 2022 at 07:38):@Matt Earnshaw
Matt Earnshaw (Jul 11 2022 at 08:08):I don't have any leads on this, would need to find a person or library with a copy
David Michael Roberts (Jul 11 2022 at 12:02):@Matt Earnshaw maybe the Buffalo library?
Matt Earnshaw (Jul 11 2022 at 12:30):my first guess, but doesn't appear in their online catalogue
Nathanael Arkor (Jul 11 2022 at 14:54):I would email the library and ask whether they have a copy.
