Oh, I'd love to read your essay about it! If you ever put it up on AO3 (or would be willing to let me peek at your pdfs), please let me know.
Yup, yup, I DEFINITELY see how there are two groups of collectors fighting over extant copies.
Oh, lucky you, managing to snag your very own copy for a song! I was thinking there must be some under-the-table digital copy circulating somewhere for people to be requesting it, but I haven't heard about it. My own scan is mostly readable, but every once in a while you lose a word or phrase to a shadow in the gutter. I keep saying I'll do an OCR of my copy and clean it up by hand, but obviously I never have. (Oh but I wish I had done at some point! Not being able to ctrl-F certain things was a crimp in my writing process!)
