Purchased a book on Apple Books but only received the sample

Hello,


I read a sample on Apple Books, and decided to purchase the book for $9.99. After the purchase went through, I opened the book, only to see that there are only the first 5 pages (the sample). I’ve purchased books before and haven’t had this issue. Any help on how to get the entire book would be appreciated. Thanks!

I’ve tried signing out, and back in, but that didn’t work.


also deleted the app and redownloaded. When I did that, the book shows that I never purchased it, but it’s showing pending in my iCloud account. I’m wondering once the charge goes through, I will have access to the book? I used an Apple gift card to make the purchase.
