As Ong pointed out, there are 'fair use' laws for copying works for
personal study, however I believe the laws are different from country
to country. I'm not sure what is the right way to apply the precept
of not stealing, but my inclination would be to follow copyright law
in this matter.

I also feel personally that it should be okay to copy any material
(for personal use) that is out of print, if there isn't a new edition
coming.

Anyhow, back to Fahs, it's a bit too long for me to copy, and I don't
have a scanner. But it does occasionally turn up on the used book
sites, and I recommend it highly.

Until then, I don't mind looking up verb forms in it, if anyone posts
them here. I just can't promise to answer the same day :-)
