Anyone aware of where I can get an Empire Army book for a buddy. All of the eBay ones are ridiculously overpriced and I can’t seem to find any digital files for it. Do these even exist? Maybe eBay is my only option but if anyone has another method to try I’m all ears. Thanks fellas, happy gaming.

Patience on ebay is your best bet for a hard copy. Search by newly listed each day and snap them up. For a digital copy have a Google for the trove, not hard to find  |

try online used bookstores (e.g. abebooks in the US but there are quite a few big players). go to ebay as a convenient way to figure out the ISBN for your army book of interest but then leave the overpricing idiots behind. you shouldn't pay much more than $10. as Horace said, sometimes you need to be patient.
edit: just checked and apparently the world has gone mad and now army books seem to be going for $50 and up even outside of ebay.

Thanks for the pointers guys. I should clarify that I misunderstood what my friend said to me about the books. He said he has a version of the book downloaded but didn’t find a good copy (I guess some of his pages cut off a few words and make for some guesswork on specific things). I took it to mean he didn’t have a copy at all. My mistake, but I’ll be using the advice provided still to try and get my hands on a hard copy.

8th edition books have gone crazy recently. I’m not sure if it’s Covid related and the general jacking up of second hand hobby bits or the old world announcements that have driven it (though older edition books are still fairly stable). |

Then they're right!
It is a fact that the hardback books almost never go for less than 20 quid. Some of the magic card packs are even worse. I've been trying to hunt down the skaven battle magic cards for 3 years with no luck.

Had I known I would be using them for more than 10 years I would've made a bit more effort to secure them hah! |

I've been trying to hunt down the skaven battle magic cards for 3 years with no luck. They are the only ones I’m missing too. I’ve seen them a couple of times in the last few years but at stupid prices and as I don’t have a Skaven army I wasn’t prepared to pay it! |

Check with the Apple store, the digital Warhammer Armies books were on there long after AOS came out. They might still be there...
