You can get it from Westwood Books and there are even a couple of 1st Edition signed hardbacks that I had put aside but forgot if you search it on the site

Will the $3,000 per book Anthropic ruling lead to a plethora of authors complaing that their book wasn't stolen to train AI models? It is, after all, not the most lucrative of professions ... authoring, that is.
