[Coco] Bill Barden's "Connecting the CoCo to the real world" book available?

[Mathieu Bouchard]

There's a photo of the book in Rainbow dec.1990, page 80. It has a plastic-ring 
binding, typical of homebrew books (all of the pirated Coco books I ever 
received had such a binding, but so did all homebrew books made by the 
university's photocopy office).

To order the book, you had to send 19.95$ directly to William Barden Jr, by 
mail, as is said at the end of the review.
