Help. Looking for "The Jungle Book" for my son.

[tal56]

Hi, we're Canadian expats living in HK for the last couple years and we went back to Canada during the summer holidays. However once back, we needed to buy an english book for my son's school. The book is "The Jungle Book" , however it seems to be sold out everywhere. We have ordered a copy but it won't be here till mid/late October. I was hoping someone with children here may have an old copy they can sell/give/borrow for us to use use until our copy arrives? Thanks so much.

This is the book.

You can order it from [B]Paddyfield[/B, although they say may take 4-6 weeks for delivery which might be no good.

Does it have to be a specific edition? If not, Kindle (or other ebook reader) is the way to go.

We don't carry the Oxford University Press UK edition - but do have a few other editions on ShopInHK - ISBN / covers are not a match unfortunately.

Thanks for the suggestions, I've seen the first 2 myself but not the bookdepository one, which I am tempted because it may ship a little sooner than my current order. Maybe I'll email them and see how accurate the shipping dates are. Thanks again.

Book Depository delivery is about 7-10 days.
