Hi. I’ve been wanting to get a copy of this book for my grandson’s upcoming birthday (yes. Believe it or not his name is Hunter. It’s so fitting)! So, I’m hoping someone out there can help me. I want to get him:

Predator: South China Sea
Predator: South China Sea
by Jeff VanderMeer
Jeff VanderMeer

ISBN 1595821406 / 9781595821409

http://www.librarything.com/work/6246157

Maybe he could borrow somehow? I could get him a digital copy? I’d be willing to purchase it (digital or paper) at a reasonable price. I’ve only found it for $50 to $300+ out there (sorry, but a gramma’s Social Security Income doesn’t go that far).

Really appreciate any and all help and thank you!

Probably out of print. Here's a list of public libraries that have it: https://www.worldcat.org/title/south-china-sea/oclc/221154721

Jeff VanderMeer is on Facebook. Maybe message him and ask if he has an extra paperback you can buy? Maybe he would be willing to ship it (and sign it!) for cover price, especially if you tell him why you want it.

P.S. If you do that, and don't hear back, it may be because he's busy and doesn't see it. If that happens, I could try contacting his wife, who is a friend.

amysisson - Thank you very much for your wonderful suggestions too! Unfortunately, I don’t have facebook. So, I have no way to message the Mr. VanderMeer there. If one day you find you’re in touch with hi (no worries on contacting Mr. VanderMeer’s wife. He responded and doesn’t have a copy to spare. But thanks again for your help)! :-)

Well folks. Appreciate the help, but unfortunately, Mr. VanderMeer wasn’t able to assist either and has no copies to spare. Thanks again for the help. I’ll keep searching.

Just one last question -- is that the only Predator book you wanted for your grandson, or would another one do? Here's a list from Wikipedia:

amysisson - He already has some other books, though admittedly not all that were published. The Predator South China Sea is the one he’s had his heart set on. He knows we’ve all been looking for a while. But the going price right now is really too much especially since it was just released just in 2008 and retailed for $6.99. So, I keep checking around. One day I’ll hit on one. Thanks for asking!

You're welcome. And you a great grandparent! (But not a great-grandparent)
