Books from Germany
Tove Jansson's books remain in print both in hardback and paperback in Germany. Interestingly, the modern paperback (Arena) and hardback (Benziger) editions of the Moomin books contain entirely different translations!
What's missing
As of 2005, Arena has issued all nine Moomin chapter books in paperback. The Benziger hardback editions are becoming harder to find, and rarer still are the Ravensburger editions dating from the 1970s, though I've now found three for this collection.
