This book also shows up on eBay, but not frequently.  If you purchase
it there you will proabably pay several times the price it went for
when in print (< $10), but you should be able to get it for less than
the proces quoted above.

Another place to look would be Chess Digest bookstore, which was
purchased by www.chessbaseusa.com a while ago.  Also check other
on-line chess bookstores.
