Geez, I can’t think of anyone who contributed more to physics and its applications than Newton.

Coincidentally, I was looking for a biography of him, and the one that seemed the best cost $35 on Amazon. In paperback. I really want to read it though, and I called my local library today to see if they were open yet. They are, but you have to make an appointment first, or order it from their website. I really want to read that book.

—” I really want to read that book.”

Have you searched for it as a used book?

I have found some very good deals, even on recent releases.

They were stamped REVIEW COPY.

I have heard that publishers send multiple copies, knowing the reviewers sell them to the book dealers.
