Cheapest on ebay UK is £35.81 but there is one up for auction with no bids, ends in 4 days. Give that a go maybe?

I'm guessing you have already tried Amazon? I'd bet anyone who has one most likely doesn't want to part with it!

Maybe ask Dave Gallop? (camber dave)

You will probably find that the library will have a copy if you request it.

I have similar books by Fred Puhn ( How to make your car handle) and Des Hammil (How to build & modify sportscar and kit car suspension and brakes). Both pretty good.
