Geoff,
My friend Ron Muszalski has a copy of the book. The next time you are out at Pebble Beach stop by Cambridge Golf Antiuqities where he works and say hi. Ron has an amazing golf library, not on par with Alastair Johnston, but for a working stiff there is not a better library in the world. Give Ron a call at 831 648-8937 and he would be happy to tell you about the book. You've talked to Ron before when we were buying your books. Hope this helps.
The book is very cool and is sort of formatted like the old Ripley's believe it or not cartoons. Its a little pricey as you noted but is pretty rare and doesn't come up at auction or in catalogues very often.
