Mercury dime book

I am looking for "A Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes" by Lange. Any leads as to where I may get one without getting stiffed for $40 or $50?

 

2006 Red Book is my latest book buy hahahahaha

 

I picked up two early 1960's Redbooks at a yard sale. They are hardcover and small. Of interest to me is that the inside cover of one was signed by a kid I went to school with. I remember my brother borrowing this exact same redbook from the kid. Both my brother and the former book owner have passed away. So these two older redbooks have a special meaning to me.
