Does anyone have a copy of The Body Image:The Human Form and Visual Culture Since the Renaissance by K. Adler?

I'm interested in borrowing (maybe buying).

Oddist,

Do you belong to your local library and have a library card? If so, you can go to their web page and search for the title. If they do not have the book, they probably belong to some state library association. The library web page will direct you to a search site to locate the book. From there, you can order the book and have it sent to your home library. Makes it very convenient to locate those hard to find books and read before you buy. I use this system all the time because my local library is very small and so far I have been able to locate any book.
But I tried the title and author that you listed and nothing was found. Author never showed anything with a "K".
If you want to play around you can go to http://ibistro.tln.lib.mi.us/uhtbin/cgisirsi/AI2jSr1XCH/TRENTON/86970233/60/1170/X

Magic!

I did not know this service existed.

Found the book through the state library. Local library here doesn't have a site.

Thanks

P.S. Also found "The Mother of all Art History Links Page" (http://www.art-design.umich.edu/mother/)

If youre interested in owning a copy, Advanced Book Exchange or abebooks.com usually has just about any book ever printed on its site. Its a great resource..
