It's $29.95 on Amzon.com in the US. I noticed this comment from a reviewer, which I thought was kinda cute...
Just because someone is anointed by holy spirit, doesn't mean that they will always get it right. The prophet Samuel, for instance, thought that David's brother would be the next king of Israel, but Jehovah God told him he was not the one. (1 Samuel 16:6, 7: And it came about that, as they came in and he caught sight of E·li'ab, he at once said: "Surely his anointed one is before Jehovah." But Jehovah said to Samuel: "Do not look at his appearance and at the height of his stature, for I have rejected him. For not the way man sees [is the way God sees], because mere man sees what appears to the eyes; but as for Jehovah, he sees what the heart is.)
So, even though 1914, 1975 and nothing between 1984-1994 didn't bring armageddon, Jehovah knows their hearts were in the right place... but only them, nobody else!
Abebooks.com is pretty good for finding secondhand books.
I have used the uk site several times to locate hard to find books.

Still, it's cheaper at Amazon.co.uk in paperback.
I don't believe Samuel went around predicting who was going to be king. But at least he was corrected by God. God didn't wait until the new king was selected before telling Samuel. With Jehovah's Witnesses they only recognized their errors after their predictions didn't come about. But it didn't stop them from making more failed prophecies. No comparison to Samuel.
