So anyhow, I found it on Amazon for a good price along with several recommendations of similar authors.

Had never heard of the author before, but I agree you can sometimes find books through Amazon and not elsewhere. I'm not sure of how many of his books/stories are available but I did buy one by Jack Webb in ebook format the other day. Wouldn't have found it elsewhere I imagine since I'm not even sure he has much work still in print.
