Hard copy of Futuh Al Habasha?

[Khaem]

I have the pdf file on my browser 24/7 and read it when I'm on my pc.
However as my book collection of mostly history at home grows, I want to include a physical copy of Futuh Al Habasha.

Does anyone know where you can get it from a safe source in the UK?

It's available on Amazon.

It's overpriced asf.
over 30 quid for a 280 paged book is insane. I got an old Russian Novel that's about 1400 pages and that was £19 on sale.

If futah al habesha is so long why do Somalis always revisit the same 5 stories, there are bound to be hundreds of interesting stories yet they are never mentioned

We know so much about the futuh because of one 280 page book.

There are thousands of manuscripts in private and library possessions. If the state or some scholars can get access to them and compile them into some books it would be a game changer for research and understanding of The Somali peninsula.

Rumors says @Idrus is planning to be the first somali to officially memorise the whole 280 pages of Futah al Habesha so when ever he encounters a Ethiopian in the wild(God forbid). He will recite off by heart making them scurry away into any dark crevasses they came out of.
