Hello everybody!
I want to buy a book:
First Step to Chinese Puerh Tea
but it is expensive.
Шf someone sells a used one or knows a link to the store, write to me or to this topic.
Maybe someone sells inside Europe
thank you

We had a group by some time ago here at TeaForum -
Special Offer: Pu'er Books Group Buy that included this book for only $40, a great price. You could try asking
@phyllsheng via email if he has any extra copies.
I’m assuming this is the book your looking for;
First Step to Chinese Puerh (2006), by Chan Kam Pong (in English)

Yes, that’s why I suggested you -email him-

Thank you! I'm considering these options, but still I'll wait. Perhaps someone sells within Europe. Delivery of a book from Hong Kong is equal to its cost

Don’t think there will be any cheap options to get these kinds of books… too niche. So shipping is always a heavy factor.
I once sent the whole set of these to a friend, crazy shipping…

I just saw that they bought and sold here, and I also saw a sale on the website of used books in Great Britain for 65 pounds with free delivery (~8 euros if I have to pay)

Easy, ask the seller adjust the book price so that it absorbs 80% of the shipping cost. Pay more for the book and less for shipping, though the sum total remains unchanged. That's what usually happens "behind the scenes" when you get cheap intercontinental shipping rates anyways. (The original meaning of the idiom 朝三暮四 comes to mind, has a funny story connected to it.)
Wish you good luck on your hunt but I'll be surprised if you can find it at a cheaper total cost unless some member here wants to sell his/her copy.
