Terry Loucks. Augmented Plane Wave Method: A Guide to Performing Electronic Structure Calculations. W. A. Benjamin Inc., New York, 1967.

I need this book very much. Does somebody know, where I can find it?
Or some else good books about APW Method?

Most universities have a university book store. If they don't have a copy they can usually get you one. That would be an alternative source for the book.
 
I suspect it's out of print. But used copies are available. (www.amazon.com has a few copies.)

Thank you.
