Thanks Graham. I tried looking for this venerable book in my public library system to no avail. Asking the library to obtain this book crossed my mind and I might do that. I have both a college degree and a doctorate, but even having experienced--or endured--the inflated costs of numerous textbooks, I was still taken aback by prices I saw for used copies of this book. The book seems to be highly sought after--or simply scarce due to its out of print status. Anyway, I'll keep this book in mind.
