Trying to source a book

I hope this is the right forum, I couldn't find anywhere else that this would seem suitable...

I have been looking for "The Better Mousetrap" by Tom Holt for a while.

I know that Waterstones and WHSmith have it, but in both cases, it is more expensive to buy the E-book than it is to buy the Hardback. I refuse to pay more for a digital copy than a physical copy!

So, could anybody let me know if there is anywhere I might be able to get this elsewhere?

Most of the sites I have checked don't seem to have any Tom Holt available

Thanks in advance...

You could try writing to the publisher to complain about the price.
