@VaylLarkinPoet I don't know any details about this book but a quick search found this link at Barnes & Noble:

https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/roots-alex-haley/1100154541

I looked at a couple of local bookstores and found only used copies. It looks like Annie Blooms does sell new copies but it's currently backordered:

Hope this is helpful info!

I feel as though I'm going mad, but this is the world we live in so: Can someone please tell me that #Roots by #AlexHaley is still in print? I'm not finding new copies of it for sale, for some reason. I can get older editions used, I know. Any leads/obvious things I'm overlooking? (I'm not overlooking the racism that could leave such important work unmaintained, but I'm desperately hoping against hope).
