Right -- you should be able to find it in used bookstores where you are.

Yeah, London has a fair few. Oddly, though, the specialists are
getting quite expensive now. Charity shops are the only place for
cheap books, but they almost exclusively deal in trashy fiction,
celebrity books and coffee-table picture books.
Does Hay-on-Wye, (Y Gelli Gandryll), the famous Wales book town, have
a shop dedicated to tech or classic computing?
I've had dinner with King Richard Booth once or twice. He had the
idea to buy up all those shipping containers of old books otherwise
destined for the pulper, and sorting them by topic and creating
used book shops throughout that city.
I have a similar pile of old Mac Think C era books and Mac developer
program newsletters. And then there's all the MSDN CDs and C compiler
stuffs from various PC compilers. Not quite sure what to do with it all.
