Both of those series are somewhat older, 1980s/90s vintage, but they're available through Baen.

Rick Cook: Wizard's Bane* (book 1), The Wizardry Compiled (book 2), The Wiz Biz II: Cursed and Consulted (books 3-4). The first two have also been available as The Wiz Biz in the past. The fifth book is not likely to ever be completed; medical reasons, IIRC.

Joel Rosenberg: The Guardians of the Flame* (books 1-3), Guardians of the Flame: Legacy* (books 4-5), Guardians of the Flame: To Home and Ehvenor* (books 6-7). The individual titles are apparently out of print.

* Also verified to be available at Kobo, and thus probably through other e-vendors as well.
