DTrader... $495 is over the top alright but check back there every once in a while. Abebooks has more depth than Ebay and, who knows, in a week it could be on that site for $20.
NYC public library if all else fails. For $495 savings, you could fly to NYC, spend the day reading the book and fly back in the evening
To the original poster: just take advantage of an interlibrary loan. What's the big deal? It's not exactly a 16th-century Guttenberg manuscript.

this extremely hard to find book is sold for 14$ on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Darvas-System-Over-Counter-Profits/dp/9562916006

Can you describe the system? Is the system different from the method described in the "How I made 2 Million Dollars In The Stock Market" book?
OTC book isn't useful unless you're trading true OTCs that are very liquid. the stocks that were OTCs which he traded then would be liquid stocks on the nasdaq now. no use hunting it out. you can still make it in the market is moderately useful, since it shows that sectors can work even when the market is in bear mode, and he comes up with darvas boxes, which isn't anything new but a prettier way to display the ideas from his first book. good for a quick read, that's it. i didn't care for his self-help book, maybe some people would but it didn't do anything forme.
