Can someone help me find the Roman Holiday screenplay?

I'm in search of the actual screenplay for the Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Peck movie Roman Holiday (and not a transcription from Drew's Script-o-Rama) and so far I only have one solid lead...

Screenplay From Japanese Publisher via eBay

Can someone can find this book, but cheaper (though eventually I might just have to bite the bullet) or another way of attaining the script or a more legitimate published transcription?

Are you looking for a printed copy or do you just want to reference the script? I found a script online here.

That's the transcription I mentioned which is unofficial.

I do own an official Bringing Up Baby transcription which references the original screenplay so it doesn't necessarily need to be Trumbo's original text.

And it doesn't need to be printed though I imagine that's the best way to find something legitimate.

If you ever visit LA...and you simply want to read it...they might have it at the Margaret Herrick Library at the Academy.

They do have it.

ScriptFly has it for $25. Worth calling them to find out which version. Often scriptsellers will have multiple versions of a script and they don't seem to offer any details on this one.
