photocopy an entire book (or copy the ebook, etc.)
I don't make a distinction between `new' and `established' callers in

When it comes down to it, I really just take things like this on a case

I thought I'd included this one already, but I can't think what I've
heard this called as before (like so many of these rarely used moves),
so maybe not. I added it to the end of my list anyways.
