Hi! I was able to get Jose Maria Abaccassis's 4-volume books through inter-library loan. One batch that was "free" was from the Library of Congress but the other batch was $25 from a the University in Los Angeles. Did you inquire about that route? (These books were Genealogica Hebreica dos Azores). It took a while, but I finally was able to get them and used a ton of paper copying page after page. :-) - Shirl -
