Note that the rights to this book are now owned by Robert Bentley,
Publishers, and may still be available from them:

I say "may," as they often have books listed on their site which are no
longer in print, or for which they have no stock on hand and no planned
reprint date.
As a sort of review, lots of theory in this book, I consult it fairly
frequently (I've had a copy for about fifteen years), but the
interpretation of the data is still one's own. There are general
guidelines distilled from the test data and the existing theory, but do
not expect any Triumph-specific information.
Cheers.
