Mendez' "Prelude to Brass Playing"

[rftroy]

I am a returning trumpet player and new to this forum as of today.
I found a copy of Rafael Mendez' book "Prelude to Brass Playing" in the UCLA library but have been unable to find a copy for purchase on any of the used book internet sites I use. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of this book to buy?
Thanks,
Bob Troy
