Shoes of the Fisherman by Morris West

rumplestiltskin · 03-24-2013, 05:17 PM

Please forgive me if I've posted in the wrong place but I could not locate a "requests" area.

I'm looking for an eBook (ePub or mobi or Kindle) version of the subject book: Shoes of the Fisherman by Morris West. I am not asking for any sort of piracy; rather, if someone might point me to an eBook store that sells the book, I'd appreciate it. I've found paperback and hardcover versions but, obviously, that's not what I want.

Please note that there is another publication called "IN the Shoes of the Fisherman" which is, I believe, some sort of sermon and it is not the book I am seeking.

Feel free to PM me or post your reply here.

Thank you,
Rumple

Even better would be the full trilogy: The Shoes of the Fisherman, The Clowns of God and Lazarus.

There is a fourth book, Eminence, which also appears to be part of the series. It might be interesting right now because it is about an Argentinean Cardinal tortured in the 1970s. He is rescued and brought to Rome. A generation later, having rising within the hierarchy, a candidate for the papacy himself, he must confront his past.

So we have another vote but for the entire trilogy. Anyone have an idea where the ePubs might be found?

Thanks, frquixote, for your voice.

Rumple.

books.google.com says no eBook available.

So books.google.com would be the definitive source (about whether an eBook would be available, on Amazon or B&N, for example)? IOW, one place rather than searching all over the place?

Usually. I also checked them and there is no eBook available at either. You can click the link available and tell the publisher that you would like to read this as an eBook. I do not know how much interest publishers have to do so.

I've seen "Eminence" and "Clowns of God" on, er, alternative sources.

Your best bet is probably just to buy a copy of "Shoes of the Fisherman" and either scan it yourself or send it off to someplace like 1DollarScan and let them do it for you.

The Open Library has it but it is checked out. But it has the 3 books which is available in an ePub. It is titled "Three Complete Novels" by Morris West. You need ADE to get the books.

For those who might still be interested, the trilogy is available on Amazon, while the trilogy and Eminence are all available on B&N.
