You can get it for $50 but you can also pay $1000 on the used market. I'm surprised he hasn't reprinted it. Self-publishing is easy now if you have the original files.
How do you turn the tide when you just don't "have it"

files?
Bob,
I first got it in the early nineties and am almost certain there haven't been any reprints since then. There may not be any files in any language that could be read. If I owned the rights I would reprint even if I had to retype the text and scan the images. If things went like they did for other similar books, he probably got about a dollar a copy profit. These days he could as you say self publish and do far better. Of course with the demand once it was gone he could sell some direct before he considered dealers again.
The most common asking price used seemed to be $150 for the last few years, even before the book was quite sold out if you knew where to look. I was a dealer for his dealer, how is that for a tongue twister, so I could have bought them out for fifteen dollars each. Cover price was only twenty bucks.
A good book in my opinion. If you notice it for around the original price you might pick it up. Of course the focus is on pistol shooting which may be tough slogging for some and there are some good tidbits outside of the mental section which is fairly large itself.

A mental tip and life lesson:
Italian driving and pool have much in common..

I don't know what the rules are for your league but if you can take a break for a minute. Splash some cold water on your face in the bathroom and let it air dry.
Whether you can or can't do that, before you go back to the table, breathe in through your nose, hold it for 4 seconds, and exhale for at least 4 more. When you step into your shot, don't think about it. Think about how the cloth feels, or what you can smell in the room. Anything but the shot.
Your subconscious already knows how to make the ball, don't get in its way.
