I’m going to check the OPAC if no library in the UPM system has these books and if they are available at the La Solidaridad book store. I’m also going to check library statistics (crudely based on the frequency of borrowing) to determine if it is practical to buy a book for a particular topic. I might be suggesting a book for a topic that no one is interested in.
