What a weird market e-books can be.

Ed McBain's 87th Precinct is a personal favorite, of which all of the 54 novels are available in e-book format except for three. One of these (And All Through the House), I understand, as it's a novella and less well-known. The other two (Doll and Mischief) are just normal novels in the series.

What gives? This is not literally killing me, but it's kind of driving me bonkers.

Any other series with the majority of the works available and just a few missing? If I remember correctly, the first book in George Pelecanos' DC Quartet series is also not available as an e-book.

Strange. Just exceedingly strange.
