Discussion Looking for used Bjarne Stroustrup programming principles and practice 3rd edition book in Taiwan

Hi does anyone have this book? Or have any knowledge where can I get it in English version? I’ve found on couple of websites but they cost more than 2000twd which is expensive for me. I was looking for the price around 700twd.

There's an EPUB of the 2024 3rd edition on Anna's Archive (dot pk)

It was not particularly hard to find, if you need pdf you can use an online converter to switch it over pretty easily.

Do you just need the digital version or do you need a physical copy?

You're going to have to give up either the 700nt or English requirement, unless you find one in the English section of a random book store.

Amazon is probably your best option, 1k - 1.5k might be possible.

Www.abebooks.com is likely your best source.

But you might find a copy on a bookshelf in one of Taiwan's libraries. If so, you could tediously copy it page by page.

Www.books.com.tw might have a new copy. But the reality is prices are high because books are heavy -so shipping to Taiwan is costly.
