Hi and welcome to the site :)

I haven't come across the book myself, sorry, but you may find books of interest on amazon, e-bay or online at various large book shops.

I managed to find out the ISBN for you  :)  ISBN: 9780860670827

Perhaps you can order it in your local bookshop now.

I have just googled Abebooks.co.uk,  put in the ISBN No. and they have one second hand copy available.

Hope this helps

I'm sorry - I must need new specs - I only checked the No.  However, I just looked on Amazon.com and putting in the book title, two came up, one new and one used.

Hope you are lucky this time

That is very odd.  You don't think the title has been changed and that is why the ISBN is the same.  Forgive me if this is a stupid suggestion - I have no knowledge of the area's geography.

Brentford isn't in Yorkshire ;D

Perhaps the ISBN I gave you was incorrect. :-\
