Gordon,
The book A Focus on Peatlands and Peat Mosses, by Howard Crum, University
of Michigan 1988, ISBN 0-472-09378-9 is presumably still in print. I saw a
copy at my library and bought it years ago through my University bookstore. 
I don't recall the price.
My ISP is still having troubles so the FAQ is still at a crawl....
