No way José

Why don't you try Abe Books [https://www.abebooks.co.uk/] - they are a brilliant online second-hand book store (the second-hand branch of Amazon in fact) and have books on all sorts of subjects, including medical & veterinary. If you are going to find other copies anywhere it'll be there.

Cheers,

It may be out of print but the copyright still applies and copying is therefore a risk.

Contact the publisher (may have been taken over by one of the big boys!) and they should be able to help.

There's usually a copyright notice in the first 2-3 pages; you're probably best advised to check there. "all rights reserved" and "no duplication without permission of publisher" are usually key points here.
