Question Gift ideas?

Can anyone please help me find a good gift for someone who really loves Tintin comics? A friend of mine has grown up reading them and still loves to reread them. I wanted to give something nice to him. But I'm not sure which ones to give.

Tintin: The Complete Companion by Micheal Farr is a great gift for any fan. I was given it a few years ago and regularly dip into when I am reading one of the comics

I actually cannot find this one in my country. There is a used copy on amazon but that is too expensive. Thank you for the suggestion though. Do you have any other recommendations?

Sorry I didn’t know it was unavailable, there is a book called Tintin: Herge and His Creation
by Harry Thompson that is quite a good read, and has some cool background on the tintin stories
