Does anyone own John Hutchinson's "No Ordinary Lives: A History of Richmond County N.C. 1750-1900"?

Question

I am looking for a copy of John Hutchinson's "No Ordinary Lives: A History of Richmond County N.C. 1750-1900", I see it quoted in several places, including https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Dockery-25 and https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:Ancestry_of_Zachariah_Moorman_Research, and at least one other Civil War novel in Google Books, but the book itself has eluded me.

If anyone has a copy or is aware of how to find one, please let me know. Thanks!

*edit: I did find it on WorldCat in several libraries, but all in physical format, and I'm not traveling to visit right now. https://catalog.loc.gov/vwebv/search?searchCode=STNO&searchType=1&recCount=25&searchArg=9781578640256

Great history book - not full of family trees however. His sources and footnotes are well identified. Are you related to the early Anson/Richmond county Crawfords?

Hi Leake, I was looking it up on your recommendation.  :)

Wondering if there is a connection, but havent found it yet, since I dont know what it contains. My brother is in Houston so trying to convince him to go to the library there for me.

It's listed on Amazon in hard cover for $20.  This listing is by the Richmond County Historical Society, which published the book, and is for a brand new copy.  https://www.amazon.com/No-Ordinary-Lives-Richmond-1750-1900/dp/1578640253

It's also listed on eBay by someone who describes it as "rare" and priced it at $75.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/224183680538?hash=item3432637e1a:g:LJcAAOSwtkFffSIn

You can also find libraries where it is available at https://www.worldcat.org/title/no-ordinary-lives-a-history-of-richmond-county-north-carolina-1750-1900/oclc/38249039?loc=.  Enter your own zipcode on that page to find the ones near you.

EDITED:  I found one more place:

It's $61 at Alibris:  https://www.alibris.com/booksearch?keyword=1578640253&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=GwEz7vxblVU&utm_campaign=10&siteID=GwEz7vxblVU-mSuSnwh3Btu214PUqxHKug
