There are a few second hand ones around, but not in English.
Try abebooks.

For pictures (and that's quite literally all it is...480 of them), there is only one...see it, buy it at Asiatica. It's "Toki no Hana"--a collection of photographs of clones grown in Japan. Fantastic...

Thanks Maggi, that's the one! There's some incredible stuff out there that we've never seen. The Japanese are doing some amazing things with these plants...I assume it's mostly selection of cultivars from what must be millions and millions of plants. It's a shame so few are available in the trade.
