Yeah, like I'll find a book in the series somewhere. I have to keep checking though. It's not like a lot of authors or series where there's a good chance you can just drop by whenever and find multiples of the first, say, three in the series.

I already have what I need to read. I fear more that the kids might find a way to damage such a treasure. I'll wait before buying something like this.
