== Pages from ''The Martyrdom of Patrice Lumumba'' ==

I am requesting pages 63–65 of the following book:

{{refbegin}}

* {{cite book| last = Govender| first = Robert| title = The Martyrdom of Patrice Lumumba| publisher = Neillgo| date = 1971| ___location = London| url = https://books.google.com/books?id=edZyAAAAMAAJ&q=| oclc = 973704}}

:[[User:Winged Blades of Godric|Winged Blades of Godric]], are you aware that printed books do not typically come with either a "Ctrl" or an "F" key? —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 08:51, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

:::<small> It used to be called an [[Index (publishing)|index]], I believe :) [[User:Serial Number 54129|<span style="color:dark blue">'''—SerialNumber54129'''</span>]]^{[[Special:Contributions/Serial Number 54129|<span style="color:red">''' paranoia /'''</span>]][[User talk:Serial Number 54129|'''cheap sh*t room''']]} 10:37, 19 September 2018 (UTC)</small>

::::[[User:Serial Number 54129|Serial Number 54129]], well, the point of an index is generally not to give you the page number of every occurrence of a given word, but to give you the page numbers of where a given concept is discussed. Which will typically contain pages where the word does not occur, and will omit pages where the term is just mentioned in passing but not discussed. That is why I, personally, consider "Please check the index for ..., and if it's not too much, could you provide the pages listed under that keyword" a sensible request, but not "I need all pages concerned with the word ...". Also, I generally find requests for ''only'' the pages that mention a particular term a bit confusing. If page 5 ends with "The Namasudra is", I suppose the requesting user won't be happy with page 5 only. From the point of view of the person trying to fill the request, this means that either you have to read the page or send a copy of, say, pages 3-7 (I usually go with the latter as the former is even more time-consuming). However, that turns a request for 26 pages into a way more comprehensive task. And that is ''in addition'' to the issue that you won't, even with the index, be able to identify all the requested pages in the first place. So if my understanding of the request is correct, I can only reiterate that I find it enormously difficult to process, and I believe it is sensible that the requesting user has apparently chosen to check the volume by themselves. —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 20:22, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

::{{u|Pajz}}, thanks for your needlessly patronizing remarks.Pg 57, 93 and 94 for a start.

:::They are not "needlessly" patronizing. Your Google Books link says there are 29 pages that contain the term. Google shows me excerpts from three of them. So if you ask for "all pages", where exactly would one find the other 26 page numbers? —&nbsp;[[User:Pajz|Pajz]] ([[User talk:Pajz|talk]]) 09:08, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

:{{ping|Winged Blades of Godric}} Only six WorldCat libraries have the 2011 2nd edition {{OCLC|774901805}} (I assume your 2004 is a typo, the only other edition was the 1997 1st edition). {{U|Bellezzasolo}} says they have access to the Bodliean Library, so you might try them, but scanning 167 pages is a big ask. If you're going to use that much of the work, this might be a case where it makes sense to scrape together the $20-$28 to buy the copy on [https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=9780198075967&n=100121501&cm_sp=mbc-_-ISBN-_-new AbeBooks].

:If you can't get any of the source any other way, I have the first edition, which seems to be the same as the 2nd except lacking the postscript. My personal scanning limit for this work would be one chapter, plus end notes, bibliography, and if necessary, index. If that would help you at all, let me know. --[[User:Worldbruce|Worldbruce]] ([[User talk:Worldbruce|talk]]) 02:19, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

::{{u|Worldbruce}}, Thanks! The end notes, bibliography et al are not much important for my purposes and I won't need it.Chapter 1 and Chapter 4 remains my topmost priority.Feel free to send either of them, per your wish:-)[[User:Winged Blades of Godric|<span style="color: red">&#x222F;</span><span style="font-family:Verdana"><b style="color:#070">WBG</b></span>]][[User talk:Winged Blades of Godric|^{<span style="color:#00F">converse</span>}]] 15:18, 23 September 2018 (UTC)

:My local library have this book (Bandopadhyay, Oxford). I asked to librarian, but they were unable to find this book. If they would find out the book, I will tell you.
