Jeff (and anyone else who's interested in this very good book)
I hear tell that it is still in print in the UK, and is available
through Marsten Nursuries (Adrian Slack's place in England). If your local
library doesn't have a copy, and the U of W press doesn't start it back up
again, it may be worth the price of having it shipped overseas. If the UK
edition is the same as the old US edition, it has the advantage of being
relatively small and light, which would make shipping more affordable.
Good luck!
