Schillinger, anyone?

I've been scouring the book websites for a couple years now, at least, to
get a copy of Schillinger's "System of Musical Composition" at a reasonable
price. Just one of the two volumes will set me back $140 or so; both 
volumes
go for $365. Does anyone know of a less expensive alternative source for a
copy of this essential resource?

If not, I'm gonna bite the bullet and purchase them. I was introduced to
Schillinger's methods in high school (class of 72. God bless you, Mr. 
Thomas
Gordon!) and I still apply them regularly.
