Why would copying an entire book be fair use?


>Note: LSD, My Problem Child appears in this library under the "Fair Use" rulings regarding the 1976 Copyright Act for NON-profit academic, research, and general information purposes. Readers requiring a permanent copy of LSD, My Problem Child for their library are advised to purchase it from their book supplier.


I wonder if that really would hold up in court, were the Hofmann estate to sue.
