UAKM & TPD books
Hey all!
I know this may have been discussed before, but I just wanted to hear about something.
Up until now I have only known about Tex Murphy through the PC games but as of late I have found an interest (or perhaps even a need) to get hold of the books that Aaron wrote about our beloved detective.
Only problem is ... I can only find them on Amazon and they are all in "used" condition. If I should buy a new book it would be very expensive, so my question is this:
Do any of you know of a place where I can buy both books at reasonable prices without being afraid of buying copies that are too used with coffee stains, ripped pages and such?
Thanks in advance

Lucky that your wanting to get them now. A couple of years ago both books would have set your back a couple hundred dollars. Since then the prices have drastically gone down but mint one havent as far as I can tell. What I can tell you is that I purchased The Pandora Directive off of Amazon for 25 dollars, it used but it looks in pretty good condition, nothing at all to complain about. My experience with Amazon is that you can usually trust the buyers, so if they say its in a certain condition you can trust them.
I encourage that you spring for them books, they are wonderful.

You can wait just a few more days before I roll out the idea for Tex's latest birthday celebration/contest! Where the prizes up for grabs include>
A pristine copy of UAKM novel
Maybe more than one copy of PD novel. One copy is signed by Adrian Carr.
And...a drum roll please....a full size GORGEOUS COPY of the, yes, UAKM Poster that freepizza covets as the original.

The thing is, I kept for myself a copy, and ONE spare, it not only is a standard frame size, but it isn't beat up, and I have to say, looks better than the original.
I'd like to see if I can work some mojo and get the novels signed like last time, but no promises.
So help me think up some cool ideas to make this Tex birthday year fantastic!!!
Yes....I'm one and the same.
And No...I still wish to remain nameless.

Alright - so I'll keep a look out at Amazon then and see if I can find a "Very Good" condition book at a reasonable price. I suppose they should be quite trustworthy when they mention the condition of the books, so I guess I should just go for it!
Anyway - just thought you might have had other places to go than Amazon but thank you for the replies. I'll try to get hold of the books through there

Well ... I took a chance and wanted to buy the two books off Amazon.com. So I found the books with the best description and best seller feedback which made a total amount of $35 BUT as I'm going to check out and add a delivery address, Amazon suddenly say that the items can't be delivered to Denmark!!
Now why is that??
Could I ask one of you kind people in the US to perhaps buy the books for me, have them shipped over to Denmark and then I'd send the money through a wire transfer or something? I'll, of course, pay for the shipping costs and such. It would be great indeed
Thanks in advance!
