Stan, I don't really know if they offer a copy service but there would be a limit to what they could do especially for a new book. No harm in asking them. If you really want to buy the book you could also try emailing them to double check it is out of stock.

RPSL replied back that, yes, it is out of print/stock, but the author is working a "comprehensive work" planned for publication next year.
From APS, it looks like I can check out the/a copy. I am waiting for total fee to send and if it is currently available.
