 Googling Rothwell "Oboist's Companion" (with the quotes) found the following:
 
 The ISBNs are 0193223368 and 019322335X
 
 Vol 3 is available from ABE for $68.65 http://dogbert.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?bx=off&sts=t&ds=30&bi=0&an=rothwell&tn=companion&sortby=2
 
 
 Worldwide Music lists all 3 volumes, but don't give a price. http://66.70.247.75/cgi-bin/closedShop/Item.pl?category=oboe&action=ShowCategory
 
 You might do a used book request on Amazon.uk http://s1.amazon.co.uk/exec/varzea/preorder/new/019322335X/ref=mk_oor_use/202-6395923-5307006
 
 Peter Anthony Bloom's site says he wrote a review.  Perhaps he would sell his copy to you.  http://www.smith.edu/music/faculty/bloom_pubs.html
 
 Top Note has vol. 1 http://www.top-note.co.uk/acatalog/top_note_Oboe_178.html
 
 DaCapo has vol. 2, but it's $90.  http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/dacapo/instruments.html
 
 If you're an IDRS member (and if not, you should be), you could ask on their mailing list.
 
 In the New York Times Sunday Book Review section, toward the back, there are classified ads for book searchers, with a "no find no pay" policy.  However, their first search will be through the online resources mentioned above, and you'll pay a premium for having someone else look it up.

 Finally, you could find the volumes in a library and take notes, or find an oboe teacher who has one and get a copy.
 
 Good luck.
