Our "Gothic Bookshop" had 4 copies (paperback, $30.00) earlier
today when I was looking at that book.  You can try calling them
at 919.684.3986 (I _think_ that is the number) or try calling
North Carolina information and getting the number from them
(you may have to ask for the Duke general number, which I think
might be 684-8111).  The city is Durham.   If you can't get
through or the Gothic won't  ship you a copy, e-mail me and 
maybe we can work something out.
