Wow! I'm stunned that anything by Terry is out of print.  

I checked Amazom.com (the US site) who are selling a couple of copies 
through private sellers but the cheapest is over $200!! 

You should have better luck in the UK. Americans haven't really 
caught on to Terry yet, he's still a bit of a cult/lit hero here. But 
then fantasy in any form is a tough sell in the US. 

All except HP of course.
