Not that I can find.  Library of Congress lists the
book's title as being "Paul Kovi's Transylvanian
Cuisine", published by Crown Publishers in 1985.  The
ISBN is the same as what LC uses and what Amazon.com
uses. My guess is that Amazon is using the dust jacket
title.  They are not the most precise of book vendors
when it comes to book titles.

As for it being Out of Print, I purchased my copy from
them over a year ago from their Out of Print Service.
