Well we can't officially as we are US based. Do you have any idea when the author died? That may help a non USA reader be sure whether they can legally help you ?

l will move this over to Off Topic as it isn't LV related.

I'm afraid it does not look good for non-USians either, since Michael Philip West died only in 1973, according to wikipedia:

You will have to contact the publisher of the book(s) in question and ask for permission to record them.

You could look online for the contact information of the publisher that is mentioned in the copyright page of the book.
If I'm not mistaken, the publisher for the book you want is Longmans, Green and Company. If so, they are now owned by Pearson, so look for contact information for Longman / Pearson.
