do you happen to know if it's in print? Or maybe I should just trawl amazon and abebooks.

I like this kind of vaguely surreal, obsessional work very much. Thanks!

I'm happy to share - I also admire this crazy line, but it seems, that it never was in print -just for family use, now, perhaps in some archive or other. I looked for him in Google, but in vain.

yes, I also looked and could find nothing. It's a pity.
