I’m looking for used copies of the _Fantomas_ novels by Allain in English translations.  
They’re not to be found in US bookstores.

Have they been re-printed in the UK?  
Can you help me locate some I could order online?

Amazon UK lists two books by Allain, but they certainly aren’t cheap (hardback). If they’re the ones you want, will they ship to the US?

Go to [ABE Booksearch](http://dogbert.abebooks.com/abe/BookSearch) and type in “Fantomas.”

I got 171 matches.

Morrow re-published the first novel in the series in hardcover here in the US in 1986. I got a copy, somewhere.
