You just have to get lucky. I'd go to Yahoo yellow pages and look for "used books" then skip down to below the "sponsored links" to the local links.

Then, work the phones and offer to pay a finder's fee to the bookstore if they can secure a copy. The best way to get it is to get someone who knows everyone in the used book business to find it for you.

I'd check EBay as well. I don't know but there may be a way to have stored searches. Check every five days since that's the shortest duration (I think) an auction can be. You might not get a direct hit since chances are slim that anyone is listing that exact title so be prepared to write sellers and ask about that book specifically.

Somebody out there has it and is more than willing to sell it. But it will take some doing to find them.
