Book wanted

[thedarkages]

Alibris, Abebooks, Amazon -- all are useless.

I would finally like to get for myself the standard work on Golems, Moshe Idel's Golem: Jewish Magical and Mystical Traditions on the Artificial Anthropoid, Albany: SUNY Press, 1990. I can't believe that it's gone out of print, or that no bookseller has a copy. Surely interested would-be Golem-constructors have kept the sales levels of the book high enough to avoid its extinction. ISBN is 0-7914-0161-8. Hints, clues, or offers all welcome.

At least plenty of libraries seem to have it - I like how this site (http://www.worldcatlibraries.org/wcpa/top3mset/2d2c2372e1ce20d1a19afeb4da09e526.html) showed me the 617 copies at different libraries in order of how close they were to my correctly ascertained network geographic location. There does seem to be a copy at UC Irvine. So, worst case, you could copy it by scanner and always keep a PDF on hand in case you should need to reference it in a hurry if your shtetl was under attack.
