Lighting the Beacons: UK based help needed

[Jacob]

Is one of our UK posters willing to help me out? I'm looking to buy a few paperbacks that only seem to be available in the UK.

Warlock of Firetop Mountain
The Forest of Doom
The Shamushanti Hills
City of Thieves

If someone's willing to buy the books and send them my way I'll pay and/ or return an equivalent favour. Alternately I could potentially hook you up with a key (Xbox or Steam) for Halo Infinite once it launches.

Hello Jacob, in normal times I'd be happy to help you out, even make the effort to get some good quality copies. But family stuff means I'm not sure if I'm coming or going at the moment, maybe in January I could have a search for them.

[Tamas]

Jacob if it's a matter of ordering them from this site and sending them on I am happy to do so. PayPaling me their price and the shipping cost will be enough.

[Oexmelin]

They are easily found in used bookstores in Canada.

I know because I bought them 

Edit: some of these used bookshops also ship to Canada often quite cheaply. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?kn=warlock%20firetop%20mountain&sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-TopNavISS-_-Results&ds=20

[Richard Hakluyt]

Yeah, I would use abebooks to locate them but I believe abebooks ship to Canada. Give that a look Jacob; if that doesn't work out for you let me know and i will try and put a package together for you.

[Jacob]

Thanks Oex! I've never used Abebooks before, so it didn't occur to me to search there. I'll give it a go.

I appreciate the offers to help Tamas and Richard Hakluyt - if Abebooks doesn't work up I may still take you up on your offers

Maybe we should try a Languish book search or exchange system, after all printed paper international posting rates aren't too expensive.

I am happy to help people out but as a general rule you should take one for the planet and use e-books.

Good point Tamas, though quite a few books I'm looking for never made it into the electronic age.

Jake, I own all four of those books.  If I can find them, and you haven't already bought them from someplace else, I'd be willing to sell them.

I appreciate the offer, but since it's going to be a gift I need new ones

[Caliga]

Ok, yeah, mine are all definitely used.

[Richard Hakluyt]

I didn't realise you needed new books; abebooks is mainly secondhand so probably won't work out for you.

They are available on UK amazon; I wonder if I can order them there and send them as a gift to you (that works for sending stuff to other UK folk)? Alternatively, I can get them delivered here and then package them up for Canada if amazon won't do it.

[Josquius]

I am seeing the first at least pop up on amazon.com.
