one of the reasons I joined FLP, from UK, was for access to Laurel K Hamilton's books, and one think I notices is that the USA library has omnibus editions ( 5 novel sets) of some of her Anita Blake series ,published by penguin USA. Those omnibus editions are not sold in the UK, and cannot be purchased here. I struggle to grasp the business logic for that, as the component novels are sold individually worldwide. FLP has individual volumes also.

it is also strange because 5 novel omnibus is a poor choice for a library loan unless you read really really fast!. I guess some folks do as you have to put those omnibus volumes on hold & queue up for them!
