Bad news, Paul. This book is out of print (note publication date of
1988). Perhaps one of our booksmiths will oblige you by sending you
price information for a used copy, if they are lucky enough to have it.
Here is the date, by the way:

As for the O'Brien book, well, in case you missed my earlier comment,
the Da Capo edition is a reprint of the original with a slight different
title, so I'd say buy it. A good deal at that price.
