Where can I find The History of the Church that is referenced in the Doctrine and Covenance

This is mind boggling....where can I find what is referenced to as HC.

An example in D&C 23 chapter heading:Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Manchester, New York, April 1830, to Oliver Cowdery, Hyrum Smith, Samuel H. Smith, Joseph Smith, Sen., and Joseph Knight, Sen. HC 1: 80.

I know this is referring to The History of the Church not Joseph Smith History. I can't find it anywhere. Can anyone enlighten me to where I can find this? (it's not even a clickable link on the Church website when you pull up any section of the Doctrine and Covenants that has HC in the chapter heading)

I'm actually surprised that it's not in the LDS Catalog. I also couldn't find it on DeseretBook.com, except for a limited edition leather-bound collection for $450. I did find it on Amazon, though. This is the version that I have.

The interesting bit is that you can read the Doctrine and Covenants at the same time. The revelations are inserted in the History of the Church as they happened relative to the events chronicled. I'm currently at my in-laws house and I use their bookshelf in their spare room as a makeshift desk. I'm looking at a copy of History of the Church that looks a lot like my own copy. I don't remember how much I paid for it though.
