Why Provide Complete Sets? Well, Why Not?

Okay, how often has this happened to you:   


You pick up a book off the shelf and read the back or the inside of the dust jacket. "Hey this seems like a good read! But...it's number (X) of a series. I should read the earlier books first." Or someone gives you a book, you dive in and discover too late that there are earlier books you should have read first. I know that it frustrates the heck out of me!

So you put the book back and try to remember to look for those earlier books. But it never happens - you forgot, or just could not find the books. The Good Read Don't Get Read!

This is why I offer these bundles: they are complete storylines that you can read from the start. Trilogies, or longer sets, at GREAT prices! How can you lose?

Now. I'm obviously an Avid Reader, but you may have noticed in the big title box at the top of the blog that I describe myself as a "Book Collector and Hobbyist".


Why add "Hobbyist? I'm glad you asked...


Over the span of 40+ years of reading and collecting books I have developed many sources to find books that others are finding, um, difficult. Lately it has become the most enjoyable and challenging aspect of my lifelong hobby. So I'm offering my assistance to help YOU find the books you're searching for.

Give me your want list and a budget and I will hunt your books down for you. If I can't find it in your price range, I'll let you know what I DO find and let you decide. "What do you charge for this service" you ask? The cost of the book itself and any required shipping costs (if it's not a local purchase, for example, or if I have to get it shipped to you). If you want to add a tip, great! Buy me tea or a diet cola while we sit and chat? Great! Entirely up to you!

I specialize in science fiction/fantasy, but I can hunt down any genre. I have a near perfect success rate! The only reason it's not perfect is that there are a few books I have not found.....YET.
Some searches may take a little longer. But I don't quit...

Interested? Can't find a particular book or book series? Don't have the time? Contact me:

No matter how the sun may linger on its long and weary journey,
at length evening comes, with its sacred song
