Can anyone help me please? Its my book club turn next and my local library is unable to get the book I chose so have ordered In Cold Blood. They can only get 3/4 copies, I will buy one but need another three. If anyone can lend/sell me one I would be grateful, will pay the postage and return it to you. TIA x

Anyone with an iPhone or and iPad can get the kindle app for free.

So all of them can also get the book for free.

Oh OP i noticed the suggestion last night and was just going to search out my copy. I'll stand down for now...

Yes but getting the app for free isn't the same as getting the book for free! On the Amazon site it says it's £5.98.

Second hand on Amazon ?

As is my choice I have purchased a secondhand one from Amazon which still cost me nearly £5, because we read approx 10 books a year some members cant afford to buy. I had originally ordered the new Harper Lee novel from the library but due to demand they couldn`t get 8 copies, so had to choose another title.

Try read it swap it website. You list books you want to swap and can request ones you want to read - once agreed all you pay is the cost of posting your book. I've used it for years and about 75% of the time I can pick up my book group titles there (as long as they're not too new/obscure). There are about 18 copies of In Cold Blood available to swap at the moment.

I may have it. I did at one point, but I haven't seen it for ages. I'll look when I get home, and if I have got a copy, you can have it to keep.

AgentProvocateur · 03/09/2015 20:35

Sorry - can't find my copy anywhere. I must have taken it to the charity shop at some point.

DuchessofMalfi · 04/09/2015 05:34

I'd offer my copy but it's so old, and bit battered now, the pages are falling out. Too fragile to post but I do think Hygge has a good alternative solution on the other thread.
