Am I getting a little peeved?  I think so.

I've been reading reviews for _UNIX_nroff/troff:_A_User's_Guide_ 
by Kevin P. Roddy (Holt, Rinehart & Winston, New York, 1987) and I
decided this was a book I could use.  But it doesn't seem to be available!

Our bookstore first told me that it was out of print.  Then I sent them
a photocopy of the review and I got a note back saying that HR&W claimed
it wasn't their publication (well, maybe not in Canada....) And my
favourite (and usually very complete) computer bookstore also claims it's
out of print.

Has anybody actually purchased a copy?  Any suggestions for a Canadian
supplier?  (or will I have to make a weekend trip to Seattle?)
