Hello? I've been looking for a book How to Read How to Read a Book: A Study Guide for How to Read a Book, by Mortimer J. Adler & Charles Van Doren by Seymour Books. Does anyone know where I can find a copy or even just a digital copy?

It used to be available on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0016D1WW0 but is no longer.
