It ships but there are no used books.
The standards are low in my country. For example the avarage price of a 500 pages book from English publisher is 20 dollars, and the price for the same book from Macedonian publisher would be 8 dollars.

>>12691028
It's alternative third world.
It's the most polluted city in Europe.

Yeah no one outside of Macedonia knows, that's why no one tries to help.

You have all Murakami books translated to Serbian directly from Japanese. Macedonia has none. Be happy about it.

I don't care what it is, I just want access to books.
Also, I hope your mother dies in sleep tonight while you shitpost on /pol/.
>>12691071
Yeah the avarage Macedonian is mentally crippled because he was occupied by the Turks for 5 centuries, thus obsessed with football, thus there're betting shops on every corner but no libraries, books shops or book clubs.

I'm the guy who said he's been to Macedonia, and for that matter every other country in the region, and I just want to add that this self-loathing you see occasionally pop up among high IQ eastern Europeans around here and generally is pathetic. They hate their country and their people like this Slavic doofus because they have been indoctrinated with propaganda about the greatness of nations 50x their size and want to leave and integrate themselves in those nations and ditch their own heritage but can't so instead of making the change they want to see they just get bitter if they're too poor to jump ship.

Also, Turks aren't the reason you have betting shops on every corner and you should brush up on your Russian instead of larping as an Anglo. You're in the Russosphere mother fucker, accept it.

>>12691157
I don't care whether I'm Anglo or Russian. Both Anglos and Russians have decent access to books, as well as other necesseties and entertaining services.
What do you mean by "jump ship".
Also, I know nations 50x my size are not great at all, they mostly have incest ancestry and high suicide rate, but still, there's a limit to every misery.
>>12691192
I'm already trying to move somewhere else, but most of the people I know who moved are either females who married a foreign husband, or have close friends or families abroad already.
Also, I'm obviously a poorfag so moving would be even harder.

No, this faggot has to stay and improve his own society instead of larping as an Anglo. Western countries have already drained much of the talent in Eastern Europe and now there's a low IQ arab and african problem so these slavs need to stay put.

Hello my friend, I am a rich Nigerian prince and owner of many fine books. Unfortunately a shipment of books from Penguin Publishing has been held up in customs in Greece. I would like for you to accept it on my behalf and I will wire you 15,000 euros to your bank account. I just need you to transfer a nominal fee via Western Union to my solicitor in order to facilitate the transaction.

What the other guy meant is that if you buy an ereader you can then illegal download books onto it. Would this be a viable solution if you had the money to buy an e-reader, or would it still not work anyway with your eyes

>> No.12691503

>>12691308
Printing is even worse than buying it. You can even sell it as used book later.

This comment is deeply delusional.

*Russosphere* is the biggest stupidity. Most people there despise Russians or they are to them as Australians are, which is nothing. Russia is totally irrelevant both culturally and economically and nothing of any values has been written in Russian since Nabokov went Anglo.

Also, it's 2019 nobody with mind gives a fuck about heritage, people want social security and education. All memes about Slavic, Russian or Anglo are field of knuckledraggers.
