know.  I heard that it's not available via Amazon, although I'm happy to be

corrected on that. >>

    Yeah, you bet.  I can go down the street and look at it whenever I want.
(Jealous? ;)  It costs $375, and it's at a used bookstore called Moe's in
their "antique and rare books" section on the fourth floor, just sitting out
for anyone to thumb through.  If you're interested, Moe's is located in
Berkeley, California, on 2476 Telegraph.  In fact, one of the links I
followed that someone on this list sent me mentioned Moe's as a place that
might be able to get one.  I'd go out right now and buy it I: (a) first off,
had $375, and (b) had an EXTRA $375.  I have neither (a) nor (b), though.
I'm wondering if they'd let me borrow the book to photocopy it...
