I thought I would try to find an answer to your question thinking it
might be a fun and relatively easy way to make $30, so I quickly found
the answer to your question, went through the whole sign-up and
read-all-the-legal-stuff process, and then found out that I won't get
paid at all because I am not a Google Researcher and Google is not
accepting applications for researchers so there is no way to become
one--how disappointing! Oh well, hardly your fault, so here is the
answer anyway. You can order the book you mention at "Casa del libro"
either by taking the following link (if it works for you):
http://www.casadellibro.com/fichas/fichabiblio/0,1094,2900000634816,00.html
or by going to casadellibro.com and entering the title in the box
under "buscador"
There is no mention of whether this book is also written in
Portuguese, but it does have the right title and publication date. I
have ordered books more than once from Casa del libro, and they may be
slower than you are used to about getting back to you to confirm your
order, etc., but it does finally arrive and in good shape after a
couple weeks (assuming you pay for fast shipping). Good luck.

If you get a chance, and this turns out to answer your question, maybe
you could put in a kind comment for me at Google and see if they will
open up researcher positions again.

Thanks!

Chris

Chris-I have done just exactly what you suggested and if my Spanish
held out, I should get the book in a while.  You can't believe how
happy you have made me with this.  I have searched everywhere for this
book for 5 years since seeing a copy in Paris.  I would be happy to do
something in exchange for you.  How do I do that?

Hi, Jennie,
I am just glad to have been able to help you and to hear that my
answer (er, "comment" rather) has made you that happy. : ) If you have
sent a note to Google about this and about opening up researcher
positions again--and it sounds like you already have--that is all I
would ask of you. Thanks, though, for the very kind offer. (It took me
all of 30 seconds to find the book, anyway, since I knew where to
look.) I hope your Spanish did indeed serve you and that your book
arrives soon. I always find it a little exciting to be waiting for a
book from overseas. Usually, in my case, it is a dictionary or other
specialized book that either is not available in the U.S. or else is
available overseas at half the U.S. price!!!! It often pays to "go to
the source," even if that source is just a foreign branch of a U.S.
company, such as http://www.amazon.co.uk, for example, for books sold
in the UK. This is also a great way to find unique gifts as long as
you shop far enough ahead (though some items cannot be shipped to U.S.
customers from foreign stores if the manufacturer has some other
exclusive arrangement with a U.S. store for sales here). Anyway,
Jennie, I am glad to have been able to help, glad to hear you are
happy, and hope you are happier still when your book arrives! : )

Chris
