Check out http://abebooks.com and you will find copies of Mixter for $3 used at several places. I have bought many books online via abebooks and have always been satisfied with my results.

Peter, Amazon does not show Mixter available as a new book. Any idea who the publisher is, or where to get a copy? Ken Gebhart
