For those interested in this book (as I was) I'll point out
that searches for the book, on the used-book sites, seem to
turn up quite a few hits, and at quite reasonable prices.

For example, I went to http://www.bookfinder.com/ and searched on
Book Title: Practical Man's Book.

Note:  Although the image that Peter posted shows an Australian
publisher, the book I found lists a British publisher, 
Odhams Press LTD --however, given the description of the book,
and since it has the same title and same set of editors, I can
only assume it's the same book.

Also, since the book has a British publisher it shouldn't come as
too surprising that most of the used-bookstores that turned up are
also in the UK.   OTOH, I just ordered my copy from a bookstore
in Chattanooga TN, for $4.95.
