I know what it is not to be able to get material for research. It is
like knowledge is being restricted to the rich.

Now, I do not suggest you to go and steal these (or any other) titles.
If you need, there are TONS of FREE information about AI in the web.

I would sugest you to suscribe to the ACM (www.acm.org) , they have a
great price for students. Also, all the places people had told you
here, and also just do a search in google with the "filetype:pdf"
option and you will find lots of FREE documents worth of reading.

I think you really do not need to steal those books, but I also think
they are way too expensive.

Anyway, hope I helped you some way.

Unfortunately it's truthful

Nice tip, I've thought I know everything about searching with Google. I was
terribly wrong. Thanks.

Good start,

posting to a newsgroup where some of the authors are active or lurking.

way to go!

Here's a thought, it might seem radical...but....
you could always buy them!

I know that some of the authors may read my post but:
1) I live in Poland and I have no possibility to buy polish editions of
these books
2) it's to expensive for me to purchase these titles abroad
This issue is the subject of my research, so maybe someone could help me to
get these books?

Thank you for help. I have already bought used books. Not all, only three
titles but they will be enough. I really appreciate your help, I'm grateful
for solving my problem.

Well.... at it has been stated many times on pl.* groups: living in
Poland is not the excuse for software piracy or violating copyrights
laws...

I don't know how to help you... The total cost of books you are
interested in is about $300. Pretty unlikely that somebody will buy
these books for you from his own pocket. But if this is really the
research, then you are not doing this research in the vacuum: there
must be the university, school, scientific institution or whatever.
There must be the library, and if there is the library, and these
books are not in the library, then the library can borrow these books
from other library. This system was functioning well even during much
harder times than now.

A.L.
