Can you suggest places to search for an obscure book?

I've been searching for a self-published book (1964) for a while and I am striking out.  Do you folks have a recommendation on where I can look?  I've tried the obvious of eBay, AbeBooks, Amazon, WorldCat, etc.  I appreciate any leads you can help me with.

Home to the flowers – 1964

Do a search on the internet.  Sometimes   a book will only show up somewhere on the internet...  and not a place where books are sold.

You might get information about the book.. or find a library where this book can be found

Many times  you will find information about the book and might eventually  find a book that is for sale.

When I do a search on the internet...  the search is done using the full title of the book and the author's name

You might try contacting the Calhoun County Mississippi Genealogy and History Network  to see if they know how to locate a copy  : https://calhoun.msghn.org/.

I found a web page from the Calhoun County Historical & Genealogical Society that is advertising a reprinted edition of the book. Scroll about halfway down this page:

 https://sites.rootsweb.com/~mscalhou/Publications&LookupsCCHGS.html

Looks like an old-style web page but at the bottom it says it was last updated in February 2017. So maybe not as old as it seems. The root page is a GenWeb site: https://sites.rootsweb.com/~mscalhou/

I'm not sure how this organization is related to the Network linked above. But it might be.
