It's not impossible to get an original Blue Book. I got mine yesterday
from the Friends of the Free Library Book Store in Philadelphia, who
listed their books at abebooks.com, and that catalogue was in the
bookfinder.com database. The internet is just great! It was $15 plus $7
shipping to Germany plus 6 weeks waiting :-))
