Where can I find a free digital copy of The Large Scale Structure of Space-time by Hawking and Ellis?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Unless the copyright holders (probably Hawking and Ellis) have licensed a copy for free distribution, any free online copy you find has been pirated in violation of international law and the laws of just about every country This is not something that Physics Forums will encourage or even tolerate, so this thread is closed.

If someone is aware of a properly licensed free copy, PM any mentor and we can reopen the thread to allow the link to be posted.
