When Adonelle Touch was published, Amazon was naturally the most visible starting point. It made the book available internationally in paperback, hardcover, and ebook formats, and gave readers a simple way to find and order it.

But for a book like this, access should not depend only on retail channels.

One of the encouraging developments since publication has been seeing Adonelle Touch begin to appear through library and reading platforms as well. The ebook edition is available to libraries through major digital library systems including Bibliotheca and OverDrive. It is also available through Perlego and listed on WorldCat, the world’s largest library catalogue. This makes Adonelle Touch easier for libraries, researchers, educators, and readers to discover, reference, and request internationally.

That matters because Adonelle Touch is not only a commercial book. It is also part of a wider conversation about trust, leadership, branding, organisational culture, and how sex-positive values can be translated into business and organisational life.

Library access gives the work a different kind of reach. It allows the book to travel into academic, professional, and public learning environments where people may not be looking for a business book through traditional retail channels, but may still be exploring questions of ethics, leadership, relationships, sexuality, culture, and trust.

I’m also glad that the book is already part of the collections of several Estonian academic and national institutions, including TalTech Library, Tallinn University Library, University of Tartu Library, EBS Library, and the National Library of Estonia.

For me, this is meaningful because Adonelle sits between fields. It connects positive sexuality with business, leadership, brand strategy, organisational culture, and human experience. Those intersections need to be discoverable not only by customers and companies, but also by researchers, educators, students, and practitioners.

If your local library does not yet have Adonelle Touch, you can usually request it through the library’s acquisition or recommendation system. Libraries worldwide can acquire the ebook through standard library distribution channels.

The wider the access, the more possible it becomes for the ideas to enter serious conversation.

And that is exactly what this book was written to do.

More information about current availability, library access, and reading platforms is available on the Adonelle Touch book page.
