I have found this bookstore in Bradford to be extremely helpful in tracking down old or out of print books

You could try contacting the Lancashire Records Office in Preston. They've got all kinds of books in there as well as the parish records, land-related documents etc so there's just a chance they might keep a copy for reference purposes.

You could also try a local University LIbrary. One with a good history department.

Have you considered the Imperial War Museum they may possibly have this book in their collection.

http://www.worldcat.org/ says that The British Library and the National Library of Wales have it.

I think Lancashire Records Office has it too as the Lancashire Library Catalogue http://lclcat.lancashire.gov.uk/ lists "Lancashire Fusiliers Salford Brigade : battalion rolls" as at the Lancs Records Office
