Where can I find it?

Post by varamiglite » Mon Jul 14, 2014 10:08 pm

I'm sure I've put his on here before but I really, REALLY would like to own a copy of Låt Den Rätte Komma In! I don't speak a word of Swedish, although I'm almost to the point where I can watch the movie without subtitles but that's just memorization. I just want it in hopes of starting a collection of JAL's novels in their native tongue. I am about to become the owner of the British Hardcover of LTROI to complement my Little Star HC, which is also British and my HtU American HC.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated because I am STUMPED!!! :evil:
Thank you!

This is where I got mine from ... http://www.bokus.com/bok/9789170371257/ ... -komma-in/, but I don't think they ship to America, you should check that out, I might be wrong.

I just found it here with a different cover ... http://www.amazon.co.uk/r%C3%A4tte-komm ... e+komma+in

Or there's this place ... http://www.bokfynd.nu/ ... how's your Swedish?

This question has been up before. Bokus doesn't ship to the US, on the grounds of having had problems with the US customs.

Here is a link to a site with other links to retailers of Swedish books: http://www.smakprov.com/vw/smakprov/swedishbooks.html

Is there no way to get my hands on a hardcover copy? I see paperbacks on one site as well as Amazon.co.uk but for a collection I prefer hardcovers. I read paperbacks or ebooks and collect HC's! If push comes to shove I'll buy a paperback,

I'm just glad that one of those sites is in English. No offense, I just don't speak a word of Swedish so I get lost in those sites!!!

Thank you for that link! Thank you as well, Jameron! You both are awesome!

There occasionally are second hand books available from private sellers, and from second-hand bookstores.

Here is an example:

I got the Swedish paperback version of LTODD from Ralf Menkens <ralf.menkens@gmail.com>
That Swedish bookseller ships to US with no problem, and quickly. Don't know if they have LTROI in hardback or whether they deal in used books. I found this bookseller through the US bookseller, Abebooks, but Ralf Menkens will respond directly to your e-mail inquiry.
