dear b-greekers, dear colleagues,

while working on a study dealing with a piece of papyrus preserving 
most of the body of a letter (P.Oxy. LXIII 4365; beginning of the 
fourth century), in which the lending of books (IV Esra and 
Jubilees) is mentioned, I came across the following title:

D.L. Jeffrey, People of the Book: Christian Identity and Literary 
Culture, Grand Rapids 1996.

Unfortunately, the libraries at hand do not have this one, so that it 
would take quite a time to order it from another library.
Did anybody read this book or have an oppurtunity to find out easily 
whether Jeffrey´s study contains anything related to `booktrade´, 
`copying of books´, `the lending and borrowing of books´, and the 
like?

Any comments welcome. Please, respond off-list. Thanks in 
advance,

Thomas J. Kraus
