If I had it, I'd copy it for you!  Have you checked eBay - there are several very similar titles listed; not sure if it's what you are looking for.  Good luck!

gifini,

This may be a bit late, but there about 30 copies listed on Abebooks.com today, many for under $10.00. You can either buy through Abe or contact the bookstores directly, at least usually. Here's a link to the search I just did. The first few are in England, but there are US sellers listed:

John,

What you have run into is what lawyers call an in terrorem clause.  As its name implies, it's intended to scare people from doing what they may have a right to do.  There is in copyright law something called the fair use doctrine.  Copying a few pages might well fall within this doctrine no matter what rights the publisher may claim.

I have not seen the book, but based on its title, I wonder whether anything in it (other than the arrangement of data) is genuinely subject to copyright.

Bernie,
Thank you for the input. I learned something new. Thats what makes this forum a great one. Never to old to learn, when I cease the desire to learn, then it's time for the " dirt nap". I have the book, it was Johns. Thats were I got the copyright info.
