I was hoping to be in Brewster's Millions but I can't access the script.
Here's the Google Books link.
https://books.google.com.ph/books?id=SnMPAAAAQAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&hl=en&redir_esc=y
I have already written the person in charge of the project (SonOfTheExiles) about it and he is stumped.
When I go to the link it says No Ebook Available, but it seems to work for everyone else.
I’m in South America if that helps.
Does anyone have any ideas about something I could do?
Thank you!

Often, Google Books will block some countries from accessing works that may not be PD for that country. In this case, though, unless you're in a country with a copyright term of Life+90 or longer, it should be PD for you. (From what I can find, Bolivia is Life+80; Mexico is Life+100. Everyone else south of the Rio Grande seems to be 70 years or fewer.)

The BC or someone else could download the PDF and share it with you.

I've downloaded it and put it on Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19DeRWAehQWZdoelO2gdDcI4x7YBSaVJh/view?usp=sharing

As a permanent solution, one could appeal the block with Google. They do seem to be responsive to such appeals. There should be a link somewhere on the page (maybe not directly, but from the "why can't I see this?" page or something like that).

Thank you so much for the script!
It is in the public domain where I am, I always double check.
All the best :)
