Paderewski edition of Chopin's preludes op 28?

[lelle]

Hi
A friend I recently spoke to told me that he was playing Chopin's preludes op 28 from the Paderewski edition, and that it had very good fingerings for some passages I'm having trouble with. I've only been able to find stuff that you have to order from a far way off, and I generally don't like purchasing stuff over the internet due to security risks (don't want to risk having all my bank account money stolen!).

So I'm wondering if the Paderewski edition is in the public domain yet, and in that case, where can I find a digital copy (like a .pdf)?

Thanks

Have you tried getting a local music store to order it in for you?  A number of music stores in my city do that. 

Try checking a local university library.  They may have the entire Paderewski set.

I wonder how libraries manage to keep this very good but very expensive edition away from falling apart after 10 sight reads
