I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

Have you tried emailing the authors? It's well known that some folks will gladly respond with a copy of the paper at no charge.

That’s not usually an option for books. Articles, maybe, but I need textbooks.

Welp, I totally misunderstood the question then. Sorry.
