Editions published in Spain are readily available. My edition is Biblia
sacra iuxta vulgatam clementinam, nova editio, Alberto Colunga & Laurentio
Turrado, Biblioteca de Autores Cristianos, 14 (Madrid: Editorial Catolica:
1987).ISBN 84-220-0049-0.
Last time I was in Madrid visiting a general bookshop I noticed that the
shelves were still well stocked with copies, possible with a more recent
imprint.
You can probably order a copy by going to:

If you don't have Spanish, scroll down to the E-mail button and make the
request in English. I swear I'm not on commission...
