it seems that there are still a lot of people looking for the book, check out amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=sr_adv_b/?search-alias=stripbooks&unfiltered=1&field-keywords=&field-author=madonna&field-title=sex&field-isbn=&field-publisher=&node=&url=&field-binding=&field-subject=&field-language=&field-dateop=&field-datemod=&field-dateyear=&sort=relevancerank&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.x=0&Adv-Srch-Books-Submit.y=0


they start at $75 and go way up. susan, if you want some quick cash, sell yours on amazon or eBay, or if you're desperate, you can bring it to a local bookseller. You can expect to get 20-40% of the retail.
