Usually you can just check bookstores. If it is available to buy new, then it is in print. If you can only find it used, then it is probably out of print. To be sure, you can ask a bookstore or library to look it up for you. There are searchable databases online where you can see for certain whether a book is in print or not, but I don't know of any that are free. The ones I know about are only available through a subscription, usually by libraries and some bookstores who offer to order out of print or rare books for customers. So, unless you have personal access to one of the databases, looking at online bookstores and finding out the availability usually accomplishes the same thing.
