Amazon's answer on my search today: Availability: This title is out of print. Although it is no longer available from the publisher, we'll query our network of used bookstores for you and send an update within one to two weeks.

I did ask them to search for some "used" books - and some of you may get it as a X-MAS-present (I'll let you know here under "Introduction").

And Catman: thanks for your advice. I just got online the permission for brief quotations.
