The author/editor of the 9th edition (1977) was R.D.Lillie,
who also did the 8th edition. The first 7 editions were
the work of H.J.Conn. You may still be able to get a reprinted
9th edition this from the Sigma Chemical Co.
A new 10th edition is in preparation (? 2001). This will be
a completely new book, as distinct from the 8th and 9th editions
in which R.D.Lillie added to Conn's earlier work. The editor
of the new edition is R.W.Horobin, the author of the next book
you ask about.

This slim volume published in 1988 was a simplified and more recent
version of Richard Horobin's "Histochemistry. An Explanatory Outline
of Histochemistry and Biophysical Staining" (Stuttgart: Gustav
Fischer / London: Butterworths, 1982), which also had an orange
hard cover. Horobin's 1982 book was a landmark publication - something
of a successor to Baker's "Principles of Biological Microtechnique."
Richard Horobin sends mesages to HistoNet occasionally. Perhaps
he'll pick up on this one. Finding out of print and 2nd-hand books
is a breeze for Lycos, Googol and all the other Web search engines.
