I do not have much experience with the european sellers either. I go with
Easons normally if they have what I want and fatbrain.com (US site) if
they don't. Google didn't show up much either but I would imagine that
ordering from UK sites make the most sense like this one -
http://www.holbornbooks.co.uk/details.aspx?sn=1249782 . I have no personal
experience with this lot either so cannot recommend them.
I could mention the obvious one-click site but let us not go there shall
we in light of the current debates on that wonderful topic?

You could always try walking into Easons or one of the larger book stores
in person and asking them to order a copy in, no idea how long they'll
take for something like this.
