Where to turn to if I need books that are paywalled behind overly expensive academic portals? (slrpnk.net)

I need some books paywalled behind Oxford Politics Trove and they aren’t on Anna’s lib, Zlib, Libgen, Memory of the World, Aaarg, or the Internet Archive. Not sure to whom else to turn to. I hate that knowledge like this is paywalled, and I highly doubt the authors will be paid if I pay the highway robbery of a price.

That’s not usually an option for books. Articles, maybe, but I need textbooks.
