Hi Alex,

Here are the obvious suggestions first.

Be sure you’re focused in the Audiobooks tab of iTunes. A quick way to get 
there is to press Command-9 to go to Internet Radio, which doesn’t have an 
iTunes store counterpart, then Command-6 to choose Audiobooks. Make sure the 
search box is empty, and see if your book is listed.

If it isn’t, go to the Store menu and choose Check for Downloads.

If that doesn’t help, choose View Account from the Store menu. Your most recent 
purchase is shown on that page.

For other types of purchases, you can get to them by going to Home in the store 
with Command-Shift-H and choosing the Purchased link. However, Audiobooks isn’t 
a category there. I think this is because audiobooks aren’t available in the 
cloud the way movies, books, and music are. I only mention it because this is 
an accessible way to view your other purchases.

If none of these ideas help you find your book, choose Apple Service and 
Support from the iTunes help menu and choose the link to contact Apple support. 
Whenever I’ve had any trouble with the iTunes store, the iTunes store support 
people have been great.

I hope this is helpful. Good luck finding your book!

Best,
Anna
