Hi folks, I want to learn #TokiPona, but I haven't been able to find pu — the first book (Toki Pona: The Language of Good, by Sonja Lang) in English anywhere except Amazon.
Weirdly, my local bookstore is able to find it in other (less helpful) languages like Esperanto, just not English. It also can order the new dictionary. Same with Bookshop.org. Why is this?
Is there a good alternative way to buy pu, that doesn't make Jeff Bezos even richer? (I know other toki pona resources exist online.)
@janDeni Ha, good idea, but I just searched their catalog online and found nothing. "Toki Pona" turned up nothing, and same with searching for author "Sonja Lang".
Thanks for reminding me the library exists, though! I'll ask a librarian next time I visit to see if they can do better.
Ask a librarian, they sometimes have interlibrary loan options. If all else fails, it is available by 'other' means quite easily ( sometimes just by searching with filetype:pdf ), and you could just put the money you intended to use to forward some other good. ( not advocating anything, just sharing information you can use as is appropriate in your context )
