In book shops
(e.g. Coppenrath & Boeser in house 22 of the university campus in Magdeburg), it has to be ordered
in advance. At WorldCat,
you can get an information in which libraries of particular countries (e.g. USA, Australia, Canada, UK,
Hong Kong) the book is available as a
printed book or
E-book.
