Firstly, I search for the book among Telegram book groups. Then, Google/DDG/Bing/Yandex results for "[title of the book i'm searching] filetype:pdf". If neither yields the book, I turn on my Tor and try to find it inside Imperial Library of Trantor. Worst case scenario, I try to find a working Z-Library HS. But some comments here added to my possibilities, such as Libgen (I knew Libgen from onion, but it's interesting to see it also routeable on surface).
What telegram book groups would you recommend?
I'm Brazilian so I generally use public Brazilian (Portuguese) groups, publicly available through Telegram searches such as "Livros grátis" ("Free books" in Portuguese) or "livros pdf" ("pdf books"). There probably are similar anglophone groups as well.
