Hey, everyone
I always enjoy going to the city to see Italian newspapers, books in Irish and so on, but it is quite impossible for
me to get any books on Esperanto. Even worse, when I look on Amazon, all the books printed seem to be from
the 19th Century or 1950s (I think there is one from the 90s). Why aren't there any new Esperanto books? Why
are they so hard to get?
I am going to try and learn Esperanto this summer, but there seem to be few resources. Does anyone know
where I can get good quality, new novels, textbooks etc on Esperanto? Is there an Esperanto newspaper (even a
monthly one?) or Esperanto radio station?
Basically, I need more Esperanto resources apart from a few websites (as great as these are) so I can read
Esperanto on train journeys, listen to it whilst doing my math homework etc and to at least prove to my family
that Esperanto is quite a real, living language.
Thanks in advance,
Brian

Can't help you with the books, but here's some Esperanto radio for you from Poland:

The problem is not that there are few books; rather Amazon is reluctant to list them.
You can order several ten thousand Esperanto books from
the Universal Esperanto Association,
Flanders Esperanto League (click on "Retbutiko") or
Esperanto-USA. The first two are probably the most
interesting for you because they ship from Europe. Your local Esperanto club or the
headquarters of the Irish Esperanto Association may also have a (smaller) selection of
books to buy, rent or browse.
Several Esperanto radio stations are listed
here.
You can find news online in Esperanto here,
here or
here. If you prefer to hold something in your
hands, the magazine Monato is quite good, and I also enjoy Kontakto,
which is included in my membership in TEJO (World Esperanto Youth organization).
