Reddit reviews Another - light novel (Another (1))

I managed to find a copy on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316339105/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There are some that have physical release and have only one or two volumes: Another, Your Name, The Boy and The Beast, and Your Lie in April

These are the ones that I have on top of my head right now.

Below includes links to the amazon page, which has identification numbers you can use for other sites, but since many of these titles share comic/manga names, it can be confusing telling the difference. Also, I think everything but Another and Baccano have a good fan translation done as of now, and he may have already read it (at least first volumes) and is not interested in a physical copy of them, so I would ask.

If he likes the idea of a game esque world (very popular right now for some reason), I would recomend Rising of the Shield Hero, Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon, and Log Horizon.

For more typical fantasy styled light novels, Spice and Wolf, Another, A certain Magical Index, No Game, No Life, The Devil Is A Part-Timer, and soon to be release Baccano.

For a murder mystery involving an unusual girl classmate, do try the novel Another.

Also, Goth might be of interest to you too.

I haven't seen the anime so I can't really comment on how much it covered, but much of the differences between the anime, manga, and novel can be found on the Another Wiki. I also thought that you might like to know that both the anime and manga are based off of a novel (not light novel series, a single 700 page novel) by Yukito Ayatsuji that can be bought here.

I meant the light novel of another

I cant seem to find a 2nd hardcover book of it

Wait really? I bought this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/0316339105/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=)
and seeing this (https://www.amazon.com/Another-Vol-2-light-novel-ebook/dp/B00AA18Z9C/ref=sr_1_10?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1494903607&sr=1-10&keywords=another+light+novel) makes me think that there's a volume 2 somewhere. (sorry if those URLs are messed up)
