• Resource link and title: Bridge Engineering: Design, Rehabilitation, and Maintenance of Modern Highway Bridges (4th edition) Hardcover. https://www.amazon.com/Bridge-Engineering-Rehabilitation-Maintenance-Highway/dp/1259643093/r
• Link to request on RX: - WP:RX cannot provide a hardcopy of this book

I plan on bringing the Bridge article in English Wikipedia to Good article then Featured article status. The Bridge article is a level 3 vital article, hence very important. I have already purchased several books with my own funds including: Bridges: A History of the World's Most Spectacular Spans, An Encyclopaedia of World Bridges, Bridges: The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures, and Bridges of the World. But the requested book is over $140 US. The requested book has a hardcover and kindle edition; The hardcover is essential for an FA nomination, because page numbers are required for citations, and many Kindle books do not show page numbers (I do not know if this Kindle book does or not, but I know the hardcover shows page numbers). If you look at my user page you will see that I have promoted several articles to FA status, including the pi level-3 vital article. I am retired, and have no use for this book in my personal life, so if you are wondering if I'm trying to get a free book for my hobby or job, the answer is "no".
