When I finish reading a book I copy it to another library and delete it from this library. When the deleted book is the last one with a particular source then that source is no longer in the drop down when adding a new book.
My solution was to add a bunch of empty books (Ctl+Shift+E), one for each source and set its source. (I changed their dates to long ago so that they sort to the bottom when sorting by date.)
Is there a better solution than this kludge?

Nope. Same goes for any field that offers lookup (Tags being a very common candidate). Kovid recommended just what you did
