I’ve written an article for my bookstore about the Dutch book buying process. Here’s the article in English!

Such magical, mythical words…  the book fair! A place for insiders only, an event happening behind the scenes. Publishers and bookstores come together to decide what’s in store (literally and figuratively) for the coming months. Which books get the publishers excited? What kind of promotions do they have in mind to tempt us? And what are we going to choose to display in our stores? The Dutch book…

damn is there no way to buy physical EDA books anymore ? :( like i know i can just read them for free online but i just think they would be rly fun to have

I’ve just checked a few on UK Ebay and people are selling used copies. Some are really expensive, others are a few quid per book.

Currently scrolling through Ebay to see my choices

Check out doctorwhostore.com via the small scifi/fantasy nerd business alienentertainment. They have quite a few EDAs there, including some I’ve not been able to locate elsewhere. Lots of VNAs, PDAs and MAs and other Who merchandise as well. Amazon also had a number of different small booksellers to acquire from. Good luck and happy book buying/reading :)

Also try Addall it’ll search 20+ book sites simultaneously, including foreign sites! It doesn’t include the shipping cost in the price sort (as it doesn’t know where you are) so make sure to look at multiple shops in the price range as the shipping may vary wildly.

Of the sites it commonly pulls from, I suggest ordering from Biblio for anyone needing a book shipped from the US to the UK, EU, or Australia. I am a book dealer by trade and recent changes with imports and VAT mean that a lot of the sites have Trouble doing it right (looking at you Amazon). Biblio gets it right and makes it easier on the dealer’s end to GET it right. so if you see a dealer with same book listed on multiple sites, pick Biblio to order from as being the one least likely to end up with your book stuck in customs.
