Can't Download Books in Catalina

OSX books gives me: "the network connection was lost".

So I can't download the book I've purchased. I can download on iphone, ipad and anything ios but not on my Macbook pro Catalina. Have rebooted, signed in and out etc.

Same error: "the netword connection was lost"

Click 'try again' and agina and agian and agian it's the same error: the network connection was lost".

This has been asked before but there was no solution...

So thanks to anyone who has the solution.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

Solution is to use iMazing software (transfer book from iPhone to Mac) as OSX iTunes/Music app doesn't work. Took 10 seconds in iMazing after wasting several hours of messing around with the osx Music app. Second solution is to NEVER buy a book from Apple Books as (irrespective of mac problems) it's locked to Apple devices and can't be used on any other reader - as well as you can't even download it on your mac. Well thankfully for me, it's only one purchase I've made so I've learnt my lesson on a single purchase. My heart goes out to those people who have ignorantly purchased a lot of apple books. Rubbish software, rubbish customer service, rubbish system. All in all a frustrating waste of time and money.
