"If you get spare copies, you might be able to sell them to your demonologist friends for more than Bar charges you."

"I would rather," he says, "get more books."

"I suppose that's reasonable. We might get another door again later, but can't count on it."

"That was my impression."

He turns the page over and keeps going.

"So Bar, how much help can you give me on technological revolution?"

Some, but possibly not anything you're equipped to use.

"Mmm - I don't know, can I borrow a computer with copies of the 2020 Wikipedia on it?"

I'd really have to know a specific world from which to draw such a thing.

"Does Mark's work?"

In Marks's world Wikipedia ceased to exist in 2015. And I caution you that there may be slight differences in the laws of physics due to wormholes, and there is also no record of the existence of, for example, a Tony Stark, which may have actually impeded technological development on the cutting edge.

"...Damn. Uuuuum."

"Okay, different tack. Can I plagiarize shamelessly from an author who doesn't exist in my world and wrote books that sold like hotcakes and then just have a lot of money to use for generic things?"

Without directly commenting on the plagiarism aspect, I can find works of fiction like that which sold well circa your year in Mark's world and supply copies, but can of course not guarantee that you will find the publication process easy, especially for books you did not in fact write.

"...Point. Okay, that's a back-burner idea..."
