In that case, you can call around to find what university bookstores have the ones you want in stock, then go there and hang out and read it in the store.
Libraries are good for that too—especially for high end textbooks that usually come shrinkwrapped. In fact, it is what libraries are there for. At universities sometimes the specific department libraries have more copies of a text than the general library—and also tend to have copies that can not be checked out so are always available in the building.

The reason I mentioned university bookstores is because libraries usually do not have the latest edition of any textbooks available.
University libraries do. At least, they do at all of the universities I have attended.
Huh. Well, I hope the libraries I’ve checked are the exceptions!
