Bitcoin Books Reseller

[Maus0728]

Greetings Everyone,

I just want to ask if there is some services that sells physical bitcoin books aside from Amazon. I tried to order some books of Andreas Antonopolous Book Series of "The Internet of Money" but the shipping fee costs me a lot. I haven't tried asking from our Local Board yet because I don't think so that there is some physical or online store that resells bitcoin books.

The shipping fee is about $50 for a $22 total book price

Looks like you can buy the e-book version from Andreas website directly, https://aantonop.com/shop/. I didn't do a full checkout but it looks like it works, unlike the Amazon version where the Kindle is not available. In my local shop, somebody sells it offline though, so if you don't want to buy the e-book, maybe your only alternative is your local shop. I doubt anyone can give you free shipping or a huge shipping discount if you buy a single book and live somewhere far from US/EU etc.

It works. You can but with bitcoin directly from his shop, and last I looked, he even had Lightning Network enabled so you can try THAT out too Maus;)

I just looked at it's 17 euros for a paperback on my local store, so you really ought not to be paying more than that more an e-book.

If you really, really need it and can't find any other way, PM me. I'll see what I can do to help out.

It's tiring to read thru e-book  though I can get a digital copy of the three of them.

$50 for shipping fees? Are you sure you didn't pick most expensive or fastest duration option? Usually i only paid between $5 - $15 on international shipping (for a book).

Philippines is pretty far from EU 

I just looked at it's 17 euros for a paperback on my local store, so you really ought not to be paying more than that more an e-book.

Nice! Is the 17 euro includes the three volume of "The Internet of Money" ?

Slightly off-topic but you can try night-mode or read-mode. Pretty sure most devices/apps have that nowadays. But anyway, your choice is either to pay more money or get the e-book one.

I tried searching blockchain/cryptocurrency related books over National Book Store website and found only one - Blockchain Revolution by Don & Alex Tapscott

Try to contact them if they have plans to add more like The Internet of Money - NBS contact

Alternatively, you can ask someone in our local board if they are also interested in buying the same book and just share on the freight.

Thank you! I just finished making a request on their behalf. Too bad, they only sell one crypto related books

Yes, I will also ask them if there are people who's into reselling of bitcoin books. Sometimes, I also wonder if selling bitcoin books from our local section is a good idea but the problem is Andreas Antonopolous didn't provide such inquiry request for people who is interested in re-selling his works.

Both Philippines and my country is located on SE Asia and i never got such expensive shipping. But since you mentioned EU, which Amazon do you use? Is it Amazon.com?

Yes! The main amazon website. I just clicked the Amazon link from Andreas Antonopolous website in which I am automatically redirected to amazon.com

It's a surprise to know that these kinds of services exist. I've checked "MyShoppingBox" reviews from different social media platform and fortunately most of the reviews are good and people are recommending it if you are planning to buy a product from US AND EU.

$ 5.00 is pretty cheap compare to a $ 23.00 shipping fee directly from Philippines.  Thank you so much!

Whoa I just saw that no it's only Vol. 1. Vol 2 is sold for 13 euros. Didn't look up volume 3.

Anyway, if you really want someone to buy it for you from the EU, and can show me a link, I'm happy to reship it to you at cost. Shipping forwarders are all right but if it's just a one-off, I can do no problem. 3 paperbacks shouldn't be too expensive, I know the max rate for 2kg packet is 9 euros.

I just finished posting "Looking for this book" in my social media platform but If I can't get a good response from my felllow Filipinos, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Also, I am okay with those 2 volume of "The Internet of Money" in your local shop and I am willing to pay you using bitcoin including the shipping fee to my address  . Thank you so much @buwaytress.

13 euros for 2 volumes right?

I believe he/she meant Vol. 1 was 17 euros ^[alone] and Vol. 2 is 13 euros.
- A total of "30 euros" for both of them

Maybe I'm a bit late here to make an suggestion, but how do you think about using Kindle to read them? Have you used a Kindle to read a book? I think you should try it, unlike using a Smart phone or PC to read books, Kindle does not cause any discomfort. If you are a regular reader, I think the Kindle will be a very reasonable choice, instead of costing $ 5 or more for shipping, and each purchase you must pay extra $ 5. Meanwhile, the price of books on the Kindle cheaper, no shipping costs.

Are you talking about Kindle hardware or an e-book reader? If so, then I haven't tried it yet, I tried searching on the internet and I think that it is quite cool to have one of these e-book reader. Large screen size, adjustable light for a more comfortable reading than using mobile phone, 4GB storage capacity intended only for audio books and e-publication are pretty good factors to consider when someone is an avid reader of books. 

@ChuckBuck, you have got me confused on this one. Anyways, thank for your recommendation.

Ya, I am talking about this product: https://www.amazon.com/All-new-Kindle-Oasis-now-with-adjustable-warm-light/dp/B07GRSK3HC/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=kindle&qid=1592503821&sr=8-3
The Kindle Oasis I sent was quite expensive, but it also has many products that are much cheaper, starting at just $ 70. Where I live, people consider it the most worthwhile electronic device to use. Because the use and the feelings it brings are extremely satisfied  I just wanted to give you advice, not to advertise
