I don't know of a domestic vendor, but I received a mailing about this book
from Mary Martin Booksellers in India, which I assume means they would be
able to sell and ship it to the US. Their address is:

They give the ISBN as 955-9512-00-5, and the publisher as MInnette De Silva

Dear colleagues:
Would anyone know of a domestic vendor for the following, which a student
has requested and which I cannot locate (not in Books in Print,
Amazon.com, Bookfinder)?:
The Life and Work of an Asian Woman Architect, volume 1, by Minnette De
Silva (S. l.: The George E. De Silva and Agnes Nell De Silva Trust).
There is a review in the March 2000 issue of World of Interiors, p. 32,
and the price is given as rrp #80. I'm guessing that means it is
published in Sri Lanka--Minnette De Silva was a Sri Lanka native--and for
sale in Sri Lankan currency, but I may be mistaken. The review states,
". . . can be ordered on 00 94 1 343651." We thought it might be an
ISBN, but I suspect now it might be a telephone number, since the access
code for Sri Lanka is 94 and the area code for Colombo is 1.
I can try calling that number but would prefer to purchase the volume in
North America.
Minnette De Silva lived for a time in London and met Le Corbusier, who
called her, the review says, "small bird of the islands."
Thanks.
