The Times arts section features a column with this note:
American Beauties is a column by Dwight Garner, appearing every other Friday, about undersung American books of the past 75 years. Used copies of books that are out of print are available from various online retailers.
Well, yes, copies of books that are out of print are indeed "available from various online retailers." But they also may be available at your local library, or your local physical, in-real-life used book store. Why the Times is editorially pushing the "online retailer" option over the other two is a mystery.
