So perhaps we don't need to read this unavailable book after all.

Or perhaps a quick look on Abebooks would find five copies, eight
copies on Amazon, but admittedly just the one on eBay currently...?

Apart from anything else, I wouldn't want to put money into the pocket
of an anti-car nutter (as described by his big supporter).

How does buying a second-hand copy do that?

Are all the copies on Abebooks and Amazon s/h?

Yes. And the one on eBay. It's long out of print, after all...
