Fakku Books available to purchase in EU, is this official?
4
Hey everyone,
just saw moments ago that Fakku Books are now available to purchase on Amazon Germany. Was just wondering, if this is official and you can support the creators by purchasing the books from there? I would assume so cause the seller is Amazon themselves.
Usually it's way too expensive to buy from Fakku directly, cause shipping would've been more than the book itself. So it's nice to see that Fakku Books are now available internationally, or at least here in Germany. Even preorders for upcoming books are up.
PS: I read somewhere a while ago, if you purchase a physical book outside of the Fakku Store you can contact Fakku to get the digital version for free. Does this still hold true?

You can not only buy the titles from amazon but also from Thalia, Bücher.de, Hugendubel, BOL, Archonia where the profit mark remains, I think more stuck with Fakku than with Amazon (as with any other publisher)

Yeah here in the UK you can buy them from a lot of stores, take a look around because my local book store here sells the fakku books for only £8-9 with free delivery, amazon around £12, you might find smaller book stores doing the same in your country.
I don't think you will get a digital copy, i asked before and it was a no when i asked, doubt it's different now.

I bought some books too (on amazon Italy). Will other books be available in the future? In particular, I'm interested in Heat Alert, Kogals Sluts and Whatever and the Butcha-U's doujin box.

Is all really sporadic, you have more chances for the new volumes but the oldest ones is nearly impossible.
I started my fakku collection on amazon, then i discover Book depository and then United Publications.
At the last, I ordered from the Fakku store.
If I pay around 10-15£ (14-20$) for book outside Fakku, in the Fakku store I pay around 30-40£ (42-55$) for book including and splitting the shipping for each volume.
Ok you have the digital as well but i buy the book because i like the physical version, i think is something more real, and the Fakku Reader in my devices is really slow.
My collection now is nearly complete, i miss only a few books and the meme50 box that i dont know if they want to reprint, but 2/3 of the books I have I bought outside Fakku.
And the money i spent on the fakku store, so 1/3 of my collection, are probably more than i have spent on the others stores.
Anyway I'm not complaining, the quality of the books of Fakku is over the top. Probably, I'm not joking, they do the best books editions of all other publisher in the U.S.A.
And I have a big debt to pay off to the Hentai Authors.

Those are anime expo exclusives, but covid made the 2020 ones store. Usually the remaining vols and they hold backs get sold in the store. Never seen them fulfilled by a store. Only sold in the marketplace and secondary market.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think I saw the Butcha-U box sold on amazon.com some time ago. Right now there's the Asanagi one even if out of stock.

I’m pretty sure we’re no longer making doujin boxes one-and-done items. We somewhat recently reprinted the saitom box. The caveat is it won’t be super often I assume.
