I recently got it off Ebay.co.uk for ~30 Pounds, which is still a lot for a pocket book. But you might give it a try, p&p to the States is not that much. I'll probably never get "Room with no doors" in mint condition. Should it appears on Ebay its old and damaged, and I'm kind of blacklisted on Amazon because I dared to disagree once when working for them.
