   You can click "Add to wishlist" here, and set yourself up to get   
   notified when a used copy eventually circulates through their system:

   I've been successful doing that with some out-of-print book titles in   
   the past, after months, and even years, have gone by. It's always   
   a surprise when you suddenly get an email notification, and you can   
   defer your purchase decision to that point. There's no obligation to   
   acquire.
