Well, it wasn't originally a novel. Hardy and Schaffer novelized their own film. It's a great read for Wicker-fans as one gets a richer view of the life of Summerisle. Also, the character of Sgt. Howie is considerably more fleshed out -- for example, he's a young man in his 20s in the novel -- and less priggish and more sympathetic.
My copy is a 1978 hardcover. Issued, I would imagine, to coincide with the US re-release of the film. I picked it up off a Barnes and Noble used book search, so it shouldn't be too difficult to find. Track it down. It's well worth the effort.
