Any place where I can get discounted copies (or purchase parity) copies of Nim in Action and Mastering Nim paperbacks?

I'm from India. Both books are quite expensive in India. Mastering Nim is not available in Amazon India.

To give you price references, in France:

Nim in Action is currently at 39.99$ (3 275,80 Indian Rupees at current stock market change). I got it at a discount price at Amazon for half the price two years ago, 19.99$ (1637,49 Indian Rupees).

I got Mastering Nim for 61.81€ (about 5551,54 Rupees). This book is quite expensive since all the pages are colored for the syntax highlighted code.

Both books are quite expensive in India. Mastering Nim is not available in Amazon India.

This is a confusing sentence. If Mastering Nim is not available, you can not tell whether it is expensive.

AbeBooks is an excellent source for 2nd hand books: https://abebooks.com

I found Nim in Action for $27, free shipping within the USA:

Sorry for confusing you. What I meant was purchasing the book from Amazon.com (in India we primarily use Amazon.in) and getting it shipped to India (or asking a friend or relative to courier it to me or bring it along with them).
