Has it? It seems to be available on Amazon at least.

Not in stock on Amazon. Just a bunch of third party sellers with varying ship dates months out. Nor Powells, other vendors, nor any used copies, nothing by ISBN search either.

Google says "in stock" in the search result. I do a search about once a month and click around. I've been doing it long enough that I can actually watch things get worse. No AI result yet, so there's still room to fall.

  • For what it's worth I bought it on "abebooks" which is also just amazon but usually cheaper, and it did arrive, in mint condition, and pretty cheaply too.

  • Have you checked the art of using the library and other data services?

    • The "bad" in my username refers to attitude not competency. I'm attempting to source a physical copy for a library as the nearest copy is 320 miles away. That and the librarian code of ethics eliminates "alternative data services" if you're hinting at sketchy PDF downloads. Still not a single copy available for sale in North America and an astonishing number of shady overseas sellers who cancel orders. Google result still says "in stock" on Amazon. Rock on.
