Is that out of print? I can't seem to find it anywhere.
If it is, is there another sourcebook that has taken its place?
Thanks,

It does look like it has sold out, I don't know if they will reprint it... Paizo doesn't reprint every book. I'm not sure if this would be one that they would.
You can still get the PDF, I can't find copies on eBay either.
We will actually be reviewing the book on our next episode of the Know Direction Podcast as part of our attempt to review all of the race books in the 'of Golarion' series.
That's too bad, because I really like having a hard copy book.
Can the content be found in any other book, such as "Advanced Race Guide?"
Thanks,
Stephen

I'm not sure yet, still reading through both, but that will be something I cover on the podcast! We're reviewing both books that episode.
One thing I had done in the past when I couldn't get an out of print book is to have a company like Staples print the PDF after I purchased it from Paizo. They can bind it nicely. The cost isn't too much depending on the page count as long as you go with black and white. Color is a little more.
I've also done it with PDFs of books I use frequently but would like to have a spiral bind on instead of a tradition one. Spiral binds lay better on the table, and keep you from loosing the page of the monster you're using.

My advice: Forget about the book. It is only worthwhile for the crunch, which can (legally) be found in the D20pfsrd.
The book's fluff is terrible. They expanded the dwarves' racial abilities to explain why dwarves are how they are, which makes for an incredibly boring write-up. Dwarven culture on Golarion is not different from the standard fantasy dwarf description: they are hard-working, hard-fighting, hard-assed drunks. The part about the Five Kind Mountains is nice, but hardly worth spending money on.
My recommendation would be to find a copy of "Races of Stone". It has a much more flavorful article about dwarves (plus great articles about gnomes and goliaths). It's rather cheap to get via Amazon, too.

It contains a lot of fluff that is not in Advanced Race Guide. However, not a whole lot of it is particularly interesting.
