2nd. link told me that East Carolina University Libraries hold it.
From there, I took their OCLC number, went to Worldcat Local and used
that. Worldcat told me my local public library did, then completely
failed to take me to it (manually going to my PL's catalog told me
this they don't actually have v. 6).
The next library on Worldcat's list does, though -- Sewanee is 30
minutes up the road.
Searching Worldcat directly for the same thing found lots of duplicate
titles, none of them found in a library anywhere near me.
The point is this notion of "one resource is better than the other" is
antiquated and needs to be buried.
