I probably haven't searched FLP right. From the home page, I selected digital collections and whether I typed in Wodehouse or Bova, I found zero hits! Which was hard to believe given how popular they are (and how prolific).
I also tried the direct search tool for the ebook collection

selecting Adobe epub. Again, zero!
Have their publishers have choked off library lending?
Of course, I remember getting hooked on series books in the old days and going to the library to get, say, #4, and discovering it was out. A disappointment for sure. I wonder if the same thing happens regularly with digital lending.
There is a real advantage to just going ahead and buying a set and reading at one's leisure! |
P.G. Wodehouse is in the public domain, at least in Canada and probably also elsewhere. You can find several of his books
here in the MR library.
