    there are 31 for sale on amazon:
    https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...rbara+Brackman

    they sell for about $75.00. This is a large, thick, book and not far off its original selling price. My LQS bought it years ago and would not resell it at any price. Its a great resource book.

    There is also a CD version of the book called "Block Base". Available from Amazon.

    I have Block Base and it takes forever to find anything. Same with the book. LOL I get the same result faster searching for a particular block or style of block online.
    I have the newest version of Windows and Block Base program works fine with it. Have to left click run in different version if downloaded or use directly from CD.
