How and where to buy the Affinity Work Book

[Alfred]

Go here: https://affinity.serif.com/designer/workbook

[R C-R]

Try https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/learn/ or the equivalent for whatever country/region you are in, like https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/learn/ for Great Britain or https://affinity.serif.com/de/learn/ for Germany.

I know that now! I checked after I posted, instead of before.

The URL https://affinity.serif.com/learn should automatically adjust for the user’s locale.

It looks like all 3 workbooks are currently out of stock!

Maybe it should be but while I was switching from US English to Germany to get the urls I posted above, when I then tried  https://affinity.serif.com/learn it took me back to https://affinity.serif.com/de/learn/

So at least in Safari on my Mac, there seems to be some persistence of whatever locale was last set via the flag link at the bottom of the page.

If you do a Google Search (buy affinity designer workbook) for the specific workbook several links should pop up. Some of the books may be used but if you don't mind you can purchase.

GoodReads

AbeBooks

Amazon

Good Luck.

That’s what I would expect. It’s what your locale has been set to, regardless of whether that matches your geographical location or your system region/language settings.

To be clear, that is not the same thing as automatically adjusting to the user’s locale. Also, I have sometimes clicked on a link someone has posted in a reply that goes to a different language version than my own, & then it becomes the one my locale is set to, even though I did not do that myself. It is somewhat hit or miss, though.

When I said “it should automatically adjust”, all I meant was that it will take you to a valid page instead of returning something like a 404 Not Found error.

I was looking for the workbooks as well but they are nowhere to be found on the website, all links listed above go to the main product pages......

Serif no longer sells the Workbooks. See, for example: 

 

You might perhaps find them on Amazon or eBay.

Thanks @walt.farrell, hopefully for future versions they will release updated books.
