You can click "Add to wishlist" here, and set yourself up to get
notified when a used copy eventually circulates through their system:
https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/writing-vaxvms-applications-using-pascal_theo-de-klerk/2874472/?resultid=e99ce148-01a9-4775-8291-a49c53dc349a#isbn=0139711775&edition=5374305
I've been successful doing that with some out-of-print book titles in
the past, after months, and even years, have gone by. It's always
a surprise when you suddenly get an email notification, and you can
defer your purchase decision to that point. There's no obligation to
acquire.
