I am surprised with how seemingly scarce this book has become in recent years.
There was a David Gee enthusiast who posted prolifically on the subject in an Australian subforum of Coin Community. This seems to be the link.
I recall there being speculation as to whether such enthusiasm was driving demand for the books.
Hopefully you are able to track down a copy at a reasonable price.
This book is in demand among Australian numismatists; I have seen several copies offered for sale at coin club auctions here in Brisbane in recent years, and they have always sold well above estimate.

Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
It’s definitely a hard to find book recently.
