Salapilot,
I wouldn't try too hard if I were you. I got a copy earlier this year through an out of print book finder, after hearing how invaluable it was. Upon inspection it turned out (in my opinion) not to be the great revelation I had assumed it to be.
Having said that, I read it post IR and many hours teaching the IMC rating. If you're coming through the JAA route skipping an IMC then it may be more useful to you.
Regards, GT.
