If that's the case, the only advice we can offer is hang in there. As I said before, it's not likely that you can "make it happen" without actually buying and scanning the book, but people know someone's looking for it now, so someone stumbling across it might remember. Or someone might scan it in the normal course of events, eventually.
I should ask, I guess: What do you need it for? It's possible someone might be able to provide information or suggest a substitute, depending on what you're trying to do.
