Yes. libgen is a mirror site for libgen.io that has everything on it. It gets taken down every once in a while. They lost a suit from the publishers but being located in Eastern Europe that doesn’t help. When I first went to the site, it asked me to turn off my add blocker so THEY could make some money. Then I looked at their donation tab and the only way to donate was via bitcoin or an Eastern European credit card.

Students tell me they all know about the site.

Ed,

FYI: The latest edition that I see on the Israeli version of the pirate site (libgen.is) is the 7th.
