The closest I have come is at B. Dalton, where they looked his name up, found
the titles of his two books, then boldy pronounced "They're no longer in 
print." ie:  the publisher stopped publishing them.  

I'm planning on getting Abrash's address out of DDJ and writing him a letter
to see if he has any stashed in his back room he'd mind sharing with me.
