Vad kommer boken att kosta? Normalpriserna för efterlysta böcker ligger mellan 120 kr och 380 kr beroende på utgåva, skick, tillgång, etc. Vi kan inte lämna ett pris förrän vi bedömt det enskilda exet. Har vi boken inne kan det ibland bli billigare och rariteter har ofta ett högre värde, att en bok är kostsam hindrar oss inte från att eftersöka och reservera den för våra kunder.
Är en efterlysning bindande? Nej, naturligtvis får du se bild, pris och skickbedömning innan du bestämmer dig. Men en efterlysning innebär ofta att vi låter ta in boken på lager och vi är därför naturligtvis tacksamma om du är seriöst intresserad och återkommer när vi kontaktar dig via epost.
Vänligen gör en efterlysning per bok! Varje bok behöver ett eget referensnummer för att vi ska kunna hantera efterlysningen.
Vi behandlar inte efterlysningar av ordinarie kurslitteratur.

The magnificent new novel from the million-selling Booker Prize-winning author of The White Tiger: one of the finest literary novels of the year is a 'kaleidoscopic portrait of a changing Mumbai' Guardian Best Books of 2011.
Twenty-first century Mumbai is a city of new money and soaring real estate, and property kingpin Dharmen Shah has grand plans for its future. His offer to buy and tear down a weathered tower block, making way for luxury apartments, will make each of its residents rich - if all agree to sell. But not everyone wants to leave; many of the residents have lived there for a lifetime, many of them are no longer young. As tensions rise among the once civil neighbours, one by one those who oppose the offer give way to the majority, until only one man stands in Shah's way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher, once the most respected man in the building. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Masterji's neighbours - friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned co-conspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday...

The magnificent new novel from the million-selling Booker Prize-winning author of The White Tiger: one of the finest literary novels of the year is a 'kaleidoscopic portrait of a changing Mumbai' Guardian Best Books of 2011
Ask any Bombaywallah about Vishram Society - Tower A of the Vishram Co-operative Housing Society - and you will be told that it is unimpeachably pucca. Despite its location close to the airport, under the flight path of 747s and bordered by slums, it has been pucca for some fifty years. But Bombay has changed in half a century - not least its name - and the world in which Tower A was first built is giving way to a new city; a Mumbai of development and new money; of wealthy Indians returning with fortunes made abroad. When real estate developer Dharmen Shah offers to buy out the residents of Vishram Society, planning to use the site to build a luxury apartment complex, his offer is more than generous. Initially, though, not everyone wants to leave; many of the residents have lived in Vishram for years, many of them are no longer young. But none can benefit from the offer unless all agree to sell. As tensions rise among the once civil neighbours, one by one those who oppose the offer give way to the majority, until only one man stands in Shah's way: Masterji, a retired schoolteacher, once the most respected man in the building. Shah is a dangerous man to refuse, but as the demolition deadline looms, Masterji's neighbours - friends who have become enemies, acquaintances turned co-conspirators - may stop at nothing to score their payday. A suspense-filled story of money and power, luxury and deprivation; a rich tapestry peopled by unforgettable characters, not least of which is Bombay itself, Last Man in Tower opens up the hearts and minds of the inhabitants of a great city - ordinary people pushed to their limits in a place that knows none.
