Found it mentioned here:

as well as on Internet Speculative Fiction Database:
http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cgi?1228252

Google books brings up mentions of the original release announcement in NYTimes, and in Publishers Weekly. Jstor brings up the mentions in a couple of academic papers.

No copies that I have found on the Internet Archive.

It is well and truly a rare book!

@Nohmi- It is always nice when a rare book gets digitized and made available for people to read! What book were you looking for?

Amy
"The Greatest Story Never Told" by Lana Cantrell. It is indeed a rare book, but not as rare as the one you are looking for.

I am going to read it in short bursts, as reading on a laptop I find to be a bit of a strain.

I really hope that you are able to find your book.

Cheers
