Hard to tell where you are somewhere North of the Tropic.
If the UK or Europe try Airlife Publishing Ltd Shrewsbury, Shropshire.
If you just want some specifics on the Mirage IIIO, one of which flew with an Avon engine, then ask away. I have a close link to the TPs involved and who are members of the Flight Test Society of Australia. Visit the FTSA website and ask some questions. One or more members has the book and some wrote the flight manual.

Search their used and out of print sections. Some great stuff there, including some cheap copies of Janes encyclopaedia. Postage from the states is quite reasonable, often only a couple of $$ more than domestic oz.
For Mozilla users, you can plug them (and amazon ebay etc) onto a drop down in the search bar on the top right. Very handy!

This is the publisher's web site: http://www.ausaviation.com.au/ but I don't see that issue amongst those available. Perhaps it is sold out? Try contacting them (if you haven't already) to check if it's still in print. If not, I have it and you can pm me and maybe we can organize something.

Occasionally copies of books from this series turn up on eBay, at the moment the Anson, Hudson... and Lincoln, Canberra... books are there.
If you have an eBay account you can set up a search that will email you when the item you are after is listed.
Sorry I couldn't be of any more help... :(
