   I'll second Vince's recommendation on this one... and his comments about   
   it being inordinately difficult to find.  I've only ever seen one buyable   
   copy, which I promptly bought, and that was at a university charity book   
   sale.  (There were several other uncommon 1960s space books in that sale   
   that year; my guess is that somebody's private library was donated after   
   he died.)
