The Official Tour De France Guide 2022

The Official Tour de France Guide is now available to order. The premium one can be got here - https://www.buysubscriptions.com/special-editions/the-official-tour-de-france-2022-premium-guide

I've never got this before, largely because I leave it too late and it's sold out by the time I want it. What's the best way to get it in this country? Order it through Easons? Get it from the above link and get it delivered via Addresspal? Do newsagents in this country stock it, so you can just walk in and get it?

I've never had a problem just picking it up in Easons without ordering.

I used to get it in my local Easons (Galway), but they'd only ever have a relatively small stock so it'd disappear off the shelves pretty quickly

Just me or you can't actually purchase the 2022 from that web link above?

Found it in my local Easons. The premium one for €14.62. Which seems like a great price for the guide and a pair of Tour deFrance socks!

just popped across to Easons nassau st and got mine, with the socks !!, €16.08

So it turned out that I got a non-official fan's guide to the Tour de France. It comes with socks, which the official premium guide is supposed to come with too. A bit cheeky of them, if you ask me.

The link in the 1st post is working now, because it looks like they started sending them out today.

Back to checking out Easons for me.

Still can't buy from that first link. Every time I click on the product it generates a circular link and reloads itself.

Just me and my browser?

Also, separately, what's the different between the standard version and the premium version? (Hopefully not the socks).

So, it appears that the only difference is the socks!

Direct links to the different editions, which currently seem to be working and in stock:

Edited to add:

No shipping outside UK, it would appear. ☹️

Edit 2:

And now the direct links don't work any more! I give up. 😢
