When can I buy the Swiss Expat Guide as a printed book?

Not yet. The paperback edition is in production and will cost CHF 39, with the PDF and EPUB of both books included at no extra cost. Join the list and you get one email on the day it ships, with a link and nothing else.

How does the print edition compare with the ebooks?

Every higher edition includes all the files from the editions below it, so nobody pays twice for the same content.

  • How to Crack the Coconut as a PDF, free for an email address.
  • How to Crack the Coconut as an EPUB for e-readers, CHF 5, PDF included.
  • The Ultimate 50 Tips bundle, both books in PDF and EPUB with the arrival course, CHF 24.
  • The paperback print edition, CHF 39, every digital file included, coming soon.

Why a printed book at all?

A screen is where you read about Switzerland. Paper is where you work through it. People arriving here fill in forms at a kitchen table with a folder open beside them, and they hand a book to the next person who moves into the building.

What will the printed edition contain?

  • The Ultimate 50 Tips, Second Edition, the full paperwork sequence from permit to tax return.
  • How to Crack the Coconut, Second Edition, the culture and social integration half.
  • A checklist section built for pencil: the fourteen-day registration window, insurance deadlines, the rental dossier.
  • The digital files unlocked with your order, PDF and EPUB.
