I know that it was reprinted as late as 1986 -- I have a copy so dated.
<My wife has a copy of the 1st edition printed in 1978.>

The book is Select Code 500-478.
<Her copy also has a Select Code 500-478.>

It is ordered via the AT&T Customer Information Center.
><I checked this last summer and at that time, at least, the second
edition was still orderable.>

Call 1-800-432-6600 (U.S.A, maybe Canada), or 1-800-255-1242 (Canada).

Write AT&T Customer Information Center
