I actually do own it, though I didn't go to it to find this monologue, oddly enough. It is good, I think people tend to look down on monologue books a bit too much. Of course they'll be overdone, but I think it is incredibly difficult to find something not overdone when you select for 1) a play with a monologue 2) written by a good author 3) that's anywhere near appropriate for you to do and 4) somewhat aligns with the thing you're auditioning for. You've just eliminated a massive amount of things that have been written, so of course what's left over will be done by a ton of people (depending on your type).
A lot of the other monologues I've used for the clinics have come from this book: http://www.amazon.com/Actors-Book-Contemporary-Stage-Monologues/dp/0140096493/
