I think you might be able to find them at their local libraries or old book stores. Good luck on finding them.

Thanks! I was hoping to find them before I went, but finding them IN Holland might be an awesome idea. I did have a friend who used to live in Rotterdam before moving to the States, so maybe I can ask him the next time he visits his parents if he can find them for me.

I don't think you could find them here. We only have the Québec-French, Scholastic and France versions available. I'd do a Google search and let you know.

Yeah, for sure.
I'm sure that I'll find them somewhere. *laughs*

Well, I found the titles of the Dutch versions, thanks to some searching in the comm and then a Google search. Yay, I'm getting somewhere! Even an eBook would be awesome.. I'll see what I can find.

I've never seen them anywhere and I have BSC books in probably 6+ languages. It'll be tough to find them in advance, but if you see any in Dutch BSC books while you are there I'd love to buy them from you :)

When I was living in Holland, I found some Dutch versions of English books at one of the secondhand bookstores. (I didn't see any BSC, but I did see other very popular titles - Garfield, etc.) So, definitely trawl around ~ especially with the re-release of the series in English, it might be possible to find them easily again :)

Good luck!

They have got to be somewhere! I'm excited about my trip; I was going to move out, but recent events have made me reconsider and do a little more traveling before setting out on my own. Since I have friends from Holland, I figured it would be a great place to visit.
I'm sure that I will find them!

I think that's an awesome idea, and I wish you luck on your quest. I have been long for German versions for years for the same reason, but the past two times I've been in Germany and asked for them in bookstores, the employees give me the "wtf are you talking about, I have never heard of such a thing" responses. No luck on the Internet either... But come on, German is a major language! I would just keep googling, I guess...

The German ones are soo hard to find! I don't have any. I don't think they released very many in German, and second-hand bookstores don't seem to be popular there. They did release some of the California Diaries in German, I think you can find those on the German Amazon.

Thanks!! Good luck in finding the German versions! I'm half-German myself, but I don't speak the language due to my Dad not speaking it at home when I was growing up.
