Hello everyone!

I have seen a few people mentioning they were struggling to access a copy of the Jan/Feb book because it has been quite coveted. I guess some of you have already bought your copy/kindle so I think it would be helpful to create a list of places/platforms where one can procure a copy for himself/herself.

I propose to classify this list by country on this very first post (I'll try my best to edit it as often as possible). It would be very kind if you can reply in a comment where you got your copy depending on the zone/country where you are. I am sure some members will be grateful to be provided some solutions.

Thanks!

First post updated! Keep giving advice/information to help those who struggle to access a copy! Warm thanks!

Georgina | 1 comments Hi

I’m from Australia and got mine from Booktopia :)


message 8: by K (new)

K (katetakate) Hi again,

Thanks Florian for updating and checking the links. Update: here’s the link for Abe Books UK (Currently I see 4 sellers selling the book - as price is likely to fluctuate I won’t quote a price here) its a long link so incase it gets cut off - if anyone wants to find the book sellers just use the search bar at abebooks.co.uk and type or copy and paste in the author and title. https://www.abebooks.co.uk/servlet/Se...

Kinokuniya SG and TH websites - I just double checked, the books are listed but I understand some websites links may not be accessible worldwide - so for those in Asia who need/want Kinokuniya Singapore or Thailand just go through your internet search engine. Note: as of just now for this book Singapore Kinokuniya is out of stock (they may restock) and Kinokuniya Thailand “Availability Status : In stock at the Fulfilment Centre.”

Hope this helps a bit.

https://www.thalia.at/shop/home/sugge...

Amazon: 14-16€, either Kindle or Paperback

Morawa: e-book, 10€ (or I think they would also order the hardcover or softcover for you)
https://www.morawa.at/detail/ISBN-224...

Perfect MeerderWörter !

Sarah | 2 comments I got it as an ebook but from my library so if you have a London library card you can get hold of it! I think you just need an app called Libby it’s really brilliant!


message 13: by Chandler (new)

Chandler (itsjustchandler) | 2 comments My overdrive / ebook options at my library are so awesome! Whenever they don’t have a book, they have a link that says, “Is this the book you’re looking for?” And then have an option for me to recommend my library but it. They didn’t have this month’s books or the last few months but they always got the books for me within days.
So If your library doesn’t have it, I’m sure you could ask if they could maybe get it for you!! 🌻💛

Thank you! This is the only solution that has worked for me to get access to this book in the U.S. besides purchasing it.

To be honest, I was thinking about the accessibility of the book (in other word I was grumbling and maybe complaining a little bit 😮 sorry 😁 ). So I decided to think a bit in attempt to propose a solution. Possibly, there are better solutions but I did not find them 😊

Gwladys Gerard (glagla60800) | 3 comments I discovered this application two days ago, i ordered the book on amazon yesterday and i'm waiting for it to arrive!

I haven't read an actual book in a while (only fanfiction) but i realise that i may read fanfictions a bit to much so i decide to go back to reading books in different genres and not just fiction. I'm also planning on reading french book again, (I'm french but i haven't read a french book in a while) I'll probably read the one i had to read for school just for the start.

I live in Australia and bought my copy off book depository - they're pretty good with stock. I've never seen them out of stock for a book I tried to purchase.

They have all the Our Shared Shelf books, actually. If not in stock then available to order. But in the The Hague store..."


That's so cool.

RaineAisling | 4 comments For french people, we also have a VO Bookshop in Lille: https://www.librairievo.com

If books aren't on the store, they always look if it's possible to order them. Thanks to them I was able to get The Radium Girls. From memory, the book took a week to come :)

Hi everyone, in the future we can share these kinds of links in the Pay It Forward thread to make the discussion board more focused on discussion of the book. This can also promote an environmentally friendly approach to sharing secondhand books! :)
