Oh good grief. It's not like it's going to be in someone else's hands forever. Plus, you could just buy it. That's why Amazon exists after all!
Also, my department issued us all with letters to take to the library saying that we could have our core or major dissertation texts out until the deadline had passed so that this doesn't happen. I think people can still recall them, but when they're done with them, we get the right back. However, this is mostly because we all went with odd little dissertation topics which no one else is interested in. I doubt that anyone else wants the 1894 Bullen edition of Middleton's collected works, and if they do, I am willing to pay the fines so I don't have to return them for the next twenty days - which is when I have to hand the damn thing in anyway.
