I couldn't find that book on either amazon or B&N. There have been a few books
that people working for bookshare out of the country have provided, and I have
an unconfirmed suspicion that this book and another may have been donated by
the authors and perhaps not published or published by small or private
publishers. I haven't read the books, though; my suspicion is only based on the
synopsis and the fact that with limited research I've been unable to find the
book.
