We purchased our 16mm print from MoMA, if that helps at all.

Hello Jennifer,
I would take note of this message on the Themovies Video Online website:

*Any videos shown on third party websites are the responsibility of those

If you click on the Buy DVD/Blu-ray button, you are taken to the Rakuten
play.com website:
http://www.play.com/
I did not see this title listed there, and this website has terrible
reviews:

An Internet search for this title took me to the Museum of Modern Art's
website. MoMA is listed as a distributor in several OCLC records also:
http://www.moma.org/search?query=Farewell%2C+etaoin+shrdlu
There is a PDF there listing titles for renting and sale:
http://www.moma.org/momaorg/shared/pdfs/docs/learn/Circulating_Pricelist.pdf
The video, if available, has a sale price of $200. You would need to
contact MoMA to see if this list is up to date.
If you had to, one could try to contact the surviving family members:

Subject: [Videolib] Farewell, etaoin shrdlu
My catalog record shows that I obtained this video from Baker Taylor,
but I thought I had actually obtained my copy by calling Carl Schlesinger
at the request of a faculty member. Now Mr. Schlesinger has died, and I am
being bombarded with ILL requests to loan this video. I am reluctant to do
so, but would like to know if anyone knows of a source for it.
I just found it online here:
http://themovies.webs.pm/watch/farewell-etaoin-shrdlu-91108.html You
must create an account, and is this a legit source? Thanks in advance.
