Can't find a book by Jean-Pierre Wybauw. Any help?

I have been searching and searching for Jean-Pierre Wybauw's book: Chocolates 2: Ganache: Great Ganache Experience. I can't find a copy anywhere. Does anyone know if it is even still in print? I believe it was only published in 2010. It is (to my understanding) one of the definitive books of ganache formulation and recipe creation. I have his 4th book ,but this one eludes me. Any thoughts on where I might find a copy? My local library doesn't have it and brick and morter book stores are few and far between these days.

It appears to be available but at an astronomical cost.

I should have clarified. I did find it for an "astronomical" amount. I did see one seller offering it for over $1000. That's ridiculous. I guess I didn't realize it was such a rarity. If anyone has a used copy that they'd like to sell, I'd be more than happy to take it off their hands (assuming a reasonable price).

I checked our ILL database and it shows that there are just over 20 libraries that hold this title that we could (probably) get it from, so I'd definitely check with your local public library to see if they can request it for you:
