Help me in collecting "Little Prince" books!

So, my girlfriend has this thing... she collects "Little Prince" books (by Antoine de Saint-Exupery) from all over the world.
So far we only have editions from:
Poland (2 editions)
France
Germany
UK
Portugal
Czech
Norway

We would like You to help us in collecting books from other countries. I know we could easily go to ebay, or other auction sites, but that's not how my GF would like to get the books.
See, for her, it's very important for the book to be bought in a bookstore and sent to Poland.
If you are from a country not listed above and would be willing to help, I'd greatly appreciate that.
Of course, we don't expect You to buy it and send it for Your own cash. We would send the required amount to Your account in advance, so You wouldn't have to do anything, but just buy it and send the package to Poland.

To avoid any problems in this thread, I would like to ask You to write a post saying what country is the book from and eventually how much would buying and sending it cost.
I would then PM you, if the offer is affordable for me and we would proceed with exchanging the account number and our address.

I know it might sound, like we're asking for a lot, without any reasonable reward in exchange, however I believe that some of You wouldn't mind helping a fellow VFer.

Also... the books don't have to be new, we will be as grateful for the used ones as we will be for the new ones.

If the collection grows we would be happy to make a photo of them all and post it here (so You can as well be proud of something fun and interesting).


Thank You to all that will decide to help, or just wish us the best in our search. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif
Peace!

I can get you one from Canada. English or French?

 

Re: Help me in collecting "Little Prince" books!

Doesn't really matter which language, it's the country of origin that matters in case of Canada /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif Let me know what would be the price and cost of sending it to Central Europe please.
And of course, Thank You /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Cool, Thanks Cuz!

To future posters/ppl helping:
Also, if it's not asking for too much, write a little dedication to me and my gf, and most important, your name on the first page of the book. I'd would love to have the names of the ppl willing to help.

Thanks again /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

Re: Help me in collecting "Little Prince" books!

I still have a used Dutch one I don't read anymore. It's printing year is 1973 (11th printing), the pages are a little browned but I always thought it was charming. If you PM your adres I'll send it over to you.

 

Re: Help me in collecting "Little Prince" books!

Thank You very much. I sent some of you PMs. I am forever in your debt /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

@DarkVincent
If by any chance I won't be able to get the brazilian edition (although WolfKing has offered to help), I'll let you know. Thanks anyway /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

I would like to Thank NGKrush for the help. The book came 2 days ago (as you know from my PM). Although I asked for only a few words, the note with a longer dedication, that you wrote, was a really nice gesture. Thank You very much kind sir! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/wink.gif

 

If your girlfriend is still interested in the LP book, I could send you a Slovene edition. I could swap it for a Polish edition.
Let me know if interested.
