I imagine this has been asked a hundred times, but I'm new here and I can't find it in search, so......
Does anyone know of an economical source of this book? "Economical" means NOT $515! And second-hand at that. (Yes, I did a Google search.) No one's eager to part with one, for obvious reasons, and this has to be the only book in the world that hasn't been scanned by somebody.

The guy on forgotten weapons posted a vid about a reprint of the original Ross Rifle Story. There are apparently a few dozen left-overs from the reprint run. He posted the vid back in September, so there is a likelihood the remaining books may be sold out.
