I’m posting this for anyone who really wants to join the Gebser reading, but still hasn’t been able to obtain a copy of the book.
Questia.com—which provides access to books and articles for academic research online—has The Ever-Present Origin in their collection. They’re legit; they have an iPhone app and everything.
It’s usually $19.95/month for access—and you cannot print or download or share access to your documents—but you can read them. And I’ve checked; it’s the exact same text as the paperback.
And there’s a coupon code to get your first month for $1: ONEBUCK.
So theoretically, $1 will get you through the first half of our reading; then if you’re really into the book and want to finish it with us, you can pay the $19.95 for the second half.
Or, your $1 first month trial could buy you enough time to get a physical copy of the book delivered (BarnesandNoble.com has copies) which might be preferable in the long run since then you’ll have a copy to keep if/when you cancel your Questia account.
I hope this helps anyone who has been on the fence about joining or simply hasn’t been able to access the book.
