Where to get KO2001 books?

#1
Hello,
many users suggest KO2001 after RTK for learning reading kanji,
but have someone recently saw KO2001 Kanji Odyssey vol.1&2 selling somewhere?

I'm in Japan, so I checked local bookstore and they don't have it, so I contacted CosCom and now they have just e-material, no KO2001 books anymore.
I'm fine with used book too, if someone doesn't need his anymore, I would like to buy it.
Similar books recommendation is welcomed too.

Thanks for help.

I wasn't aware there even were physicaly books, so be wary until somebody can confirm such a thing even exists, however a quick search on Australian eBay gave me one somewhat promising result.

Again, first I've heard of physical copies, but I never investigated such a thing in the first place, but hopefully somebody can confirm or deny the existence of official printed copies.

Might I ask what's wrong with the electronic version?

I'm certain that I've seen physical books in a bookstore in Japan about 3 years ago.

I bought the CDs on the internet about 4 years ago, though. The electronic version seems more convenient because it's easier to navigate and to search for kanji. Plus you get the files (audio files and sentences as images) so it's easier to make an Anki deck of the whole thing if that's what you are planning to do.

I have a physical copy of the book, just confirming. Too lazy to mail it to Japan though.
