FWIW Glen, you may find that your local library is willing to order any
book their patrons desire... Los Alamos (albeit a wealthy county) is
very generous about this... I get the impression that county/local
libraries are "desperate" to remain relevant and one method is to make
sure their patrons get anything they want. I believe most/all public
libraries also have interlibrary loan systems as well, so if anyone in
their network has it, then they can get it for you.
