OT: 1979 Collins English dicty needed

[Amy West]

A friend who does artificial intelligence stuff has need of a 1979
Collins English dictionary "for work." (I suspect some natural
language processing, but that's neither here nor there.)

Anyone have one lying about that she can take off your hands, borrow,
etc.? She has tried ordering one from used book places, but keeps
being told that they don't really have it after she places the order.

Any suggestions?
