Here's the number one rule regarding the process of avid reading: The book you want the most is harder to find than a needle in a haystack. I spent years locating The 87th Precinct series, and just this fall, I noticed that most titles are on Kindle Unlimited. My library contains around 10 paperback novels in this series. I do not know of any Overdrive affiliated libraries with over a dozen novels in Ed McBain's series. Obviously, if there are, someone will post that information. As with any search, you find other authors while you're digging around. Back in the 60's and 70's, I became interested in the novels/stories of R.A. Lafferty and Thomas Disch. It's 2023, and Kobo US seems to have almost no major Disch novels. However, Amazon offers Camp Concentration, 334, On Wings of Song, and The Genocides, all at reasonable prices. People seem to have a love/hate relationship with Amazon. Anyway, my current search involves locating ebooks from Ross Thomas. He wrote the Mac McCorkle and Arthur Case Wu series. Hope someone digitizes the books, and offers them in ebook versions. So far, only two titles exist as ebooks.
