desertmum Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I am looking for a copy or ebook download of Michael Ende's "Jim Button and Luke the Engive Driver". I know it is out of print in English. I don't mind paying a decent price for it but I certainly cannot afford $500 for a "collector's copy" from Amazon. Does anybody have a link to this book? I read it as a young girl and loved it. I would like to share it with ds, but now I can't find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Wow, that's an expensive used book! I looked it up on Amazon UK, thinking there might be more copies banging around in Europe - nope, £99! And heck, Amazon Germany has an English copy for a cool 652 Euros! :001_huh: You can get the German for 15 Euros - makes learning German seem like a good investment. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertmum Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 :lol::lol: :iagree: I've been told German is harder than Latin. Anyway, I had to try. I don't even know why the book is not being printed anymore. My school's library had it...but that was decades ago. Bummer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elinnea Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 :lol::lol: :iagree: I've been told German is harder than Latin. Nah, that's just what Germans will tell you. For the most part it's a pretty logical language. I'm sorry that you can't find Jim Knopf for a good price. We love that book here but only have it in German. I notice your siggy said that your ds is learning Spanish. Book Depository has Jim Knopf in Spanish for not too horrible a price. I don't know if that is an option for you but it might be easier than trying to learn German. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
