I can't believe that a library would allow someone to purchase their only
copy of a reference book.  Isn't there a code of ethics which prevents
something like this?  Surely there is a library out there with a copy.
Would the Library of Congress in Washington DC have copies?

I have to admit that I have looked in several university libraries with
absolutely no success.
