Wolf -
If you're still interested in borrowing a copy from a library, ask your
local librarian to get it for you on interlibrary loan. In Wisconsin
it's held in the library collections of UW-Stevens Point and UW-Madison (at
the bottom of this email message I've included the bibliographic records for
both printings). My source for this info is the WISCAT library database
(alas, this database is not open to non-library folk).
For the rest of you who aren't in Wisconsin, go ahead and ask your local
librarian to borrow the book for you - the Library of Congress owns both
printings, and the LC is the library of last resort for interlibrary loan -
you should be able to get it on loan from somewhere around the U.S. (I've
also included the bibliographic record from LC for you to show to your local
librarian). Anyone can search the Library of Congress Experimental
Search System at <http://lcweb2.loc.gov/ammem/booksquery.html>.
As for purchasing a copy, I also checked my "secret source" but came up
empty-handed.
P.S. Missed you at Grand Marais!
