Sadly there are no editorials for PA, even in Polish. However some subset of them can be found in "Looking For a Challenge" book.

      Money is the way. It's just a book, not something like a secret weapon. I think 100€(excluding shipping) is enough to get the book(even nobody sells it). Not enough? You can pay 1000€, 10000€..., eventually you will get the book.

      Have you even tried purchasing it? It's true that many people encounter problems in contacting people distributing it, but don't ask me for help in getting through process of purchasing it if you haven't even started it :P.

        What I assume is the official site for the book seems to have run out of stock.

        When you click "reserve your copy", it tries to link me to a page that does not exist.

        Additionally, trying to google for "looking for a challenge book" gives me no relevant results on the first 2 pages (I didn't bother checking after that).

        There are no sellers on Amazon, Ebay, or Lulu.

        So currently, I agree that there is no way to buy this book (unless I can convince someone I know that has it to sell it to me, but that's not happening).

          OK, yeah, in that case you're right, didn't know that they ran out of copies.

Are there task statements available in English? If so, where?
