I purchased a copy of the said book at Barnes&Noble.com at 20% discount. It is also availabl at SOME B&N stores (for example, the one in Union Square NYC).
I can relate to everything that was written in response to my question -- the book is really difficult to read and of clear mathematical nature.
Nevertheless, I also find it very informative and rewarding. It is clearly not a technical diving manual, but rather a in depth theoretical handbook.
I find it a good reference.

Mine should arrive today. I'm pretty interested in the physics/physiology of diving. (Math/CS/Biology backround)
I would like to implement a couple of decompression models to get an idea of how things work. The haldanian models seem fairly simple, the RGBM a bit trickier, but not too bad. I'd like to write some software to integrate that in with my dive profiles & look at theoretical tissue loading/bubble formation/growth etc... (I found this neat device that will do depth/temperature at 1 second sampling intervals)
I don't do any decompression diving and won't be getting into that game for a while anyway but... The theory (esp bubble) is fascinating.
I'm hoping it'll give me a better intuitive feeling for the models. Any other book suggestions would be appreciated!
Sigh... Guess I've got too much free time on my hands. No job'll do that! (my fault for not looking)

It does look like you have some free time on your hands. Good for you.
The Wienke book will give you a good overview on most of the stuff you are interested in. You migh want to look at the http://www.abysmal.com/pages/articles.html for some more ideas.
