Check out
http://abebooks.com
and you will find copies of Mixter for $3 used at several places. I have
bought many books online via abebooks and have always been satisfied with my
results.

Peter,
Amazon does not show Mixter available as a new book. Any idea who the
publisher is, or where to get a copy?
