I then went to their "customer service" counter and asked if they had copies in stock of book one. They had never heard of the author or the series. Ok, fair enough I can live with that. Could they order two copies of the first book for me? One word...no.

No? Reason? Not in their catalogue or on their database...Too hard...

Strewth...

Hello eBay and hello Amazon for the ebook versions for my wife.

Now that my daughters have read the first book and buoyed by my wife's glowing endorsement of the series, they want the next two books. Time to greet eBay again.

Dymocks can go fester.
