Isn't AbeBooks for collecting old books? That's what I use it for. Abebooks and eBay. lots of out of print vintage niche books that way, like early JA->EN translations of novellas.

This labor was, pre-war, a bunch of poor, uneducated serfs (basically slaves). But leading up to WWII, they were transformed into educated, literate, laborers. Also the USSR had invested leading up to WW2 in agriculture outside Ukraine (sin

The USSR's (well, Russia's) growth had begun before WW2, and it was in response to pre-WW1 Russian being severely underdeveloped. There was a ton of room for growth that started before WWII, and it continued unabated. Basically, R

All this being said, I think comparing the art market and popular music markets is foolish. 12yo boys aren't buying emerging mixed-media artists. But they are picking Spotify songs. When I buy art, I have often spoken with the artist i

It really does feel like the onus is on the original lender (who owns the debt) to police how it gets transferred.

This is correct. And if you don't like that font's long-s, you can fix it with document.body.style.fontFamily = "Baskerville"; Baskerville has a nice long-s. TNR is also not bad. Garamond is passable.
