I haven't seen that one, but there was a fairly recent history (maybe 1980's?) on E-Bay recently. I try not to spend too much on copyrighted books, so when it got up to $25.00 I bowed out. I have a list of companies I've tried in the past. All of them have search engines (I think), and some have wish lists so that you can be informed if it becomes available: http://www.rootsweb.com/~ctnewlon/genbooks.htm Let us know what you find out!
