Reference Librarians and University libraries are great resources.
Should you want to own a copy, I see copies of the 1979 edition are available for purchase for less than $5 US at ABE Books (www.abebooks.com). They are the American Booksellers' Exchange, an on-line consortium of used book sellers. I see that Amazon's vendors are offering hard copy and digital (Kindle) versions of various editions from 1979 to 1999 for $60 or less.

Debbie,
You might try looking at "books" at NLM or peruse the Library of Congress. Both tend to be pretty complete, but no one said the websites were easy to negoaiate.
You might also find hard copies listed in the library catalogues of major universities with well known chemistry departments. Some have their own specialc hemistry libraries apart from the main campus library.
Personally, if you have access to one, I'd sic a reference librarian on this and let him/her do the datamining.

Much of data from Bretherick's is available in the safety section of PubChem's entries for specific chemicals, if that's helpful. For example, see
https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/acetone#datasheet=lcss§ion=Reactivities-and-Incompatibilities&fullscreen=true
for the acetone entry, which includes 8 entries from Bretherick's
