You can find used copies on Amazon. I recently got another copy there.
Yeah, I checked 'em out, one as low as four cents! I'll check around town first, we've got several pretty good used bookstores.

"Synonymous" might not be a bad term. Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary defines parapsychology as "a field of study concerned with the investigation of evidence for paranormal psychological phenomena" and paranormal as "not scientifically explainable: SUPERNATURAL." Of course, English is nothing if not a boxing ring canopied with various, often opposing, shades of meaning.
