You can get Howard Collins book from Shihan Collins:
These are Published independently by Shihan Howard Collins, and it
can probably be obtained directly from Shihan Collins through his
web-site at: http://www.shihancollins.com (well, he happily sells within Scandinavia, I
don't know how he feels about shipping to other parts of the world, but You could always ask write him. I get things with international money orders all the time with great success give it a try).
