I bought my copy from some address in Sri Lanka in 1974. I have also looked
around on the net, but it seens it is nowhere to be found. Other books by
Buddhadatta, his dictionaries, the 3 volumes of his Pali course, are
available, but not this book.

It was published by The Colombo Apothecaries' Co., Ltd.

Maybe someone in Sri Lanka could check and see if this company still
exists? Or if some bunches of unsold books still may lie in some storehouse
there?
