The Pavan series where made around 2002 - 2006, before he died.
Pavan 5 was made sometime around 1970, which is almost 40 years ago.

Swedish price:  2,207.12.  Is that expensive?  I don't know.
2207.12 SEK is very much. A book cost 50-100 SEK (6.06 - 12.12 USD) here in Sweden, so it should cost 750-1500 SEK (90.94 - 181.87 USD) for fifteen books. It's therefor rather overpriced :S

That, or it's a really good/popular/rare book or series. In this case, it seems its rarity is the cause of its price.
grao!

This page looks like it might have something; from what I can deduce (as I know no Swedish), they will have a copy by May 26.

Or maybe it's a library's page. I don't know. xD

And he works at the library  :O

Maybe that's why he wants the book so bad : He screwed up and lost the library's copy, and he needs to buy a new one and pass it off as the old one before the 26th of May otherwise he'll lose his job...

Far-fetched, but it fits, right? lol

The plot thickens...

Ebay, tradera, huuto.net (finnish only) and such are the easiest options for any type of collector-on-demand action. Another way to look for it is at any possible flea market you bump into and antiquarians. I can go do a little search at a few places here in Helsinki that sell mainly foreign literature.

I already know about the abe books link, but thanks for suggesting it! It would be such a shame to buy it through abe books just to get the one I miss, when I have already paid quite a lot to actually get the other books.

The other link, to the Ume? library is particularily funny. Notice the Inne/?ter field and the date 2009-05-26, that's when the book will be back at the library. Since a week back, it have been borrowed by erm... me X)

I didn't lose it though, it's just that I can't keep books from libraries, and I really want this one! :)

Have you inquired the library staff about the possibility of purchasing the book from them?


When something smells, it's usually my monitor.

What if... you DID "lose" the book upon borrowing it? You'd get a costy fine for losing the book but in the end you'd have the book in your collection and everybody would be happy, you with the book and the library with the money. :D
