I want a copy of children's book Emma Borrows A Cup Of Sugar by Nicholas Fisk

I desperately want a copy of a children's book from 1974 called "Emma borows A Cup of Sugar". The author is Nicholas Fisk.
Some regulars may remember me posting this on MSE some months ago....
as a result of that thread a copy was tracked down on Amazon Japan. A Japanese colleague of my sisters agreed to order it using their a/c with Amazon Japan and we have been waiting ever since! Amazon Japan kept saying it would arrive shortly but have now been in touch with our buyer to say they can no longer get the book from their supplier. A huge disappointment for us.
So the hunt begins again...
I have done all the obvious internet searches and posted it as a "want" on the relevant sites many times but have heard nothing.
PLEASE can anyone find a copy? I would be so grateful as I've been trying to get this for five years now.
Emma Borrows A Cup of Sugar

Can't see anywhere selling it.
These places hold library copies if you want to look at it -
British Library
National Library of Scotland
Oxford University
Trinity College Dublin
You can make an inter-library loan request via your own library but I don't know how much it costs.0 -
