Has nothing 

I went to a couple other websites, didn't find your book, didn't find my
book, just more of the above.

If I found my wanted book at $65, even falling apart, I'd grab it.  The
alternative is the reprinter of books

Does HIGGINSON BOOK Company list your book? http://www.higginsonbooks.com
Nope, it lists neither your interest or mine.

Frankly, I'd already have that book in my posession.  Copy all my pages of
interest, and then explore whether the binding needed assistance.

Just my opinion,
Chris
