Sadness | 
I'm about to lose my mind. I can't get books by Furrowed Middebrow or the British Library Crime Classics and from various other publishers and imprints locally, and Amazon is crazy expensive once shipping to Malaysia is factored in. This is so bad 😭 https://www.theguardian.com/books/2023/apr/04/amazon-to-close-book-depository-on...

batsy @TheBookHippie @eeclayton @jlhammar It's really been my life line for books 😭😭 13mo
TheBookHippie @batsy 😭😭😭😭😭 13mo
BarbaraBB I didn‘t know and I am shocked. And I feel so sorry for you. 13mo
quietjenn I just saw this in a Goodreads group. It's super depressing and I'm only a casual user. I can only imagine how you are feeling. 😞 13mo
CSeydel Oh no! 13mo
JamieArc Oh no. I am so sad for you! I loved using it for UK editions, and Booker nominees that hadn‘t been released in the US yet. 13mo
batsy @BarbaraBB @quietjenn @CSeydel @JamieArc It's a huge loss. I can only hope a similar alternative might come into existence 😢 I'm also surprised that we didn't at least get some advance notice of at least a few months. 13mo
dabbe That, for lack of a better word, SUCKS. Hopefully Amazon will be as slow as Google when announcing their plans to end/close something. 🤗 13mo
LeahBergen I know!!! 😭😭😭😭 Try Blackwell‘s. They ship worldwide for free. blackwells.co.uk 13mo
Jas16 Oh this is terrible 13mo
Aimeesue ☹️ 13mo
batsy @LeahBergen Oh, thank you! I didn't know that. I see that they don't have the stock available online like BD 😢 but the free shipping will be helpful 🙏🏽 13mo
batsy @dabbe @Jas16 @Aimeesue 😢😢 13mo
BarbaraBB I wanted to make use of BookDepository as much as possible and ordered some books. One is coming your way. One I think you will like and you might guess what book it is 😃 anyhow, something is on its way 🤍 13mo
batsy @BarbaraBB You are too kind, Barbara! Thank you so much ❤️ 13mo
Centique This was a nasty ending for me too. I relied on it for any books I couldn‘t get from the library - lesser known authors and translated works. 😨 Thank you @LeahBergen for mentioning Blackwells! Will try it for sure. 13mo
LeahBergen @Centique I‘ve been really happy with my orders from Blackwell‘s but they do take a wee bit longer to reach me here in Canada (compared to BD, that is). 13mo
batsy @Centique Isn't it devastating! It's really going to hit me when it closes 😢 13mo
