Interesting, I didn't know "copy" means "photocopy". I thought one could say "Book X is great, I bought a copy the other day", meaning they bought the actual book, not a photocopy of it.
Please excuse my faulty English and I'll expand on my obviously too brief inital message. I'm interested in acquiring the actual physical manuscripts about Dawn-age Seshnela called "Hrestol's Saga" and "Book of Kings". I understand they were sold at convention auctions in the past, and I have seen unpublished manuscripts like these (Durengard Scrolls, etc.) sold on eBay without any fuss, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with asking. These are rare and valuable items, which is why I said "pile of cash".
To be honest, I'm mortified that at least two people think I posted asking for illegal photocopies of Mr. Stafford's intellectual property (on a list he reads, no less). I contacted Moon Design recently to see if they could help me get these manuscripts. Getting no response, I wanted to ask here.
I hope this clears everything up,
