It was a book he wrote himself as far as I remember. Not the one that 
was about how to coexist with other nuclear powered countries. Very 
rare. Only one library had one copy of it in Dallas area in early 1980s. 
Find it and read it. I bet you'll enjoy that.

Some works of value perish as time passes, especially after the advent 
of internet, by mere size they have among the ocean of garbage that 
surrounds them. If you ask me, using internet to find it will lead you 
nowhere. Start with libraries around you just in case by now they have 
not gotten rid of that obscure work years ago already. Just in case they 
had a copy of it to begin with. Libraries do regularly get rid of their 
older books.

Another example of it is the German exercise book I was looking for. I 
spent 30 years off and on looking for it and could not find it. I have a 
Persian translation of it and wanted the original German. I even asked 
that nutcase "Hanson" in this forum if he could find resources to use to 
find it. Of course he couldn't or wouldn't (which is the same thing if 
he is a CH). Some library, somewhere, probably got rid of the last copy 
of it that was in existence when the clueless clerk opened it and did 
not understand the significance of it. I think the same thing may have 
happened to Szilard's book.
