I don't recall an e-book.

Amazon.com has six used copies of the third edition starting at  
$29.95. Suggest you first check with local libraries.
The one on E-Bay for $19.95 is the first edition, basic info the same  
but way out of date.
Rodale shows it for $16 but directs to Amazon, so that won't work.  
Warner Books let it go out of print.
Biblio.com is still showing the first edition.
Powell Books offers it from time to time.

I feel the need to get something out there but am disinclined to go  
back into the publishing business. I am currently going through the  
last edition. Thinking about three versions of a free, online book:  
coffee table edition with everything the second edition had; one with  
all the words but not the maps; and a synopsized version titled in my  
mind as The Very Busy Person Edition. This is a time-consuming project  
and I make no promises or predictions on how long it will take.

Nah, I am more inclined to a kiss on your forehead. Geez, I'm getting  
seriously decrepit. How big and jealous is your husband?

It is beginning to feel like my life work to urge people to take  
seriously where they put themselves. Happy to know you and yours are  
taking time.
