I bought mine when it first came out at an IEEE Conference.  About the same price (adjusted for inflation).
So searching for used would be the best bet.

I just bought one on Amazon.  Was not cheap.  Half Price Books would be another place to look.

The best historical tome for crystals is the book "Crystal Clear".  It lists over 50 wartime crystal providers.  It goes over the Brazil Connection, Leo Meyerson, and a whole lot more.
