Sigh indeed.

If the rights have reverted with your book going out of print then you
could always try what the Operational Research department at Lancaster
did (and may still do) -- they had the complete course notes written up
for sale in unbound form and the students were expected to buy them. I
don't suppose they turned a great deal of profit on the deal after
deducting reproduction costs, but it did mean there was a 'textbook'
available that precisely fitted the course content, and no danger of it
going out of print.
