I will look for it,maybe it will not be easy cause its not so recent but maybe there is stock.

Since this book was published over 20 years ago, there are few sites that provide detailed information.
The most detailed one at the moment is Amazon Japan.
マカロニウエスタンのすべて―イタリア西部劇324 | 梶原 和男 |本 | 通販 | Amazon

However, of course this book is written in Japanese, and there is a lot of inaccurate information in this book.
