For what it's worth, it took me about five years (maybe longer, though
not as long as ten years) to find a copy of that book.  In my
experience (and I got a copy five or six years ago, things may have
changed since then), a new copy shows up once a year or so through the
standard used book web sites; most of them cost several hundred
dollars, but eventually I got lucky and found a copy that was only
something like $150.  (Which was rather more than I wanted to pay for
the book when I initially started the search!)

I guess I'm dubious about your plan - I don't get the impression that
there are a lot of specialist stores out there that aren't on the
internet these days.  I could be wrong, though.
