Double Bass Bottesini: Concerto #1 in F#m

I was wondering where I can find a good printed version of this? I've been searching for the Hoffmeister Publishing site but haven't had any luck. Ideally, I'd like to be able to play it on a recital in orchestral tuning. I'm just having a hard time finding a good printing of the piece. I'm not a fan of the International "play it up an octave from what's written" versions. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I got mine from Lemur music. They also have orchestra tuning versions.

You don't have to play Bottesini's first concerto up an octave. Only the trebble cleff parts.

Your thinking of the second concerto were you play it up an octave.
