I also found the following: "Seabird monitoring at Aiktak Island, Aleutian Islands, Alaska in 1989"
I worked in the Aleutian Islands for the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service many years ago. I spent maybe one week on a really tiny island called Aiktak and probably typed up a brief report.
It says "Out of Print," but how could this even be listed on Amazon? Scientific reports written for government agencies are in the public domain, so anyone could digitize it and sell it (or give it away for free), but if they're going to focus on a report as minor as this, then they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

I just got not available on your report.
Now on your book, someone thinks you are worth money.
