Hi,
Just noticed that Amazon UK are listing an audio book version of BOL for release in early Oct.
Does anyone know if these will be the recordings Leonard made for the Philip Glass project. Would be great if so.

Re: Book Longing: Audio Book
Hi John
It would be my dream that this book has Leonard himself reading all the poems from the Book of Longing out loud.

Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
This is amazing, wonderful news, but when I go to amazon.com (the U.S. website), using the link provided, it says " this is not available to you" & then "this title is no longer available"!
Maybe that just refers to the printed book... And when I did a search for "Book of Longing audio edition", it said "0 results found". Maybe it's just not available till tomorrow or some later date, or maybe I have to sign up for for "audible books" (which has a free trial but then there is a monthly charge unless you cancel). I will try again tomorrow...& tomorrow...I can't imagine that it wouldn't be available in the U.S.; that is just not possible!

Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
Isn't there a button "buy with one click" that allows you to buy the audio without subscription?

Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
Just bought it online from Amazon.de for 17,46 euro. Downloaded the required Amazon Audible app on all my devices ( Sonos/Smartphone/Ipad and PC) and also the file that contains the audiobook and within minutes I had it all working. So now I can listen wherever I am on any device
Tip: When you log on to the Amazon Audible app make sure that your Amazon location is correct otherwise you won't be able to find your book in the library. I for instance had to select Amazon.de instead of the default Amazon.com
Have listened for 15 minutes or so and it is such a delight hearing Leonard reading his own works!

Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
Hugo, thank you so much for your efforts & your reply. However, the option to buy in any manner did not come up at amazon.com or audible.com; after trying again several times, I called "customer care" & was told that publishing rights have not been granted to the U.S. by the author or those managing his estate


Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
Sorry to hear that, hope it will be fixed soon!

Re: Book of Longing: Audio Book, narrated by Leonard
I am so frustrated. I so desperately want to hear Leonard reading these poems and have taken out an audible trial subscription via our our Prime membership at Amazon UK solely for this purpose. However because we are in Canada at the moment the audible app keeps on defaulting to amazon.ca which tells us we cannot download in this country.
Aaaagh. I have never had this problem downloading Kindle books outside the UK, though I can only buy and download from Amazon UK. I thought it would be the same for Audiobooks but apparently not.
Does anyone have any ideas please?
Wendy
