If the book is not available, you can submit a request to be contacted when the book is uploaded to the website.
Electronic yearbook apps have been a great resource for many people trying to get in contact with former classmates. You can ask former classmates if they have a copy of the yearbook you can borrow or if they know where you can purchase another copy of the book. Alumni associations can also be contacted as well.
