In search of an English language copy of Väinö Linna’s trilogy Under the North Star. It’s out of print and quite rare apparently. Anyone have any good leads?

Seems to be on Amazon but it’s pretty expensive.
I bought these for my wife and she did not read them :/
I have the 1st and 2nd of these. One of them, I bought at the Finnish Book Store in Thunder Bay, Ontario. The other I bought at the Lake Superior Trading Post in Grand Marais, Minnesota. Both were like 15 years ago (I kept the receipt as a book mark). I don’t know if either of these places exists or sells books anymore. Your best bet might be to start calling up used book stores in Minnesota, Michigan, or Northern Ontario. Places like Duluth, Marquette, Hancock, Sault Ste. Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, etc.
FYI, I have read these also in Finnish, and the translation is kind of mediocre.
