Try instead http://www.bookfinder.com a meta-search engine which uses
several out-of-print databases.  It may never be a good idea to buy
out-of-print books from Amazon or Barnes & Noble since they're basically
going to the same sources and then doing a mark-up (in some cases as much
as 100%).

Another option is to do an interlibrary loan so you can at least see and
read the book.
