Bus Haury has these listed on The Wrenching News. Don't know if he still has some at $30.95 including shipping.
An Ebay seller has them for $28.95 plus $5.95 shipping.

My copy of Cope (along with lots else I have in print) is marked up with annotations, additions & corrections.

He borrowed a set of the MVWC Newsletters during his writing phase, but did not mention them in his credits. I wished he'd given patent numbers instead of or along with dates -- those are are large part of my annotations.
