At US$100, I'm glad to find that the library on our center has a copy. The
entire thing is done without capitals (except the title page, which the
publisher would have done) in order to reinforce their idea that capitals
aren't needed for the orthographies of African languages -- a bit of
overkill, I think.

Anyway, I've put info on this keyboard layout on the Web at:
