Thats the ONE thing I hate about book stores (even Chapters does it), you go in and look at a book, it seems interesting and then you find out its part 45 of 68 and part 1 is nowhere to be seen. ARGH. Luckily our local chapters seems to be ok at stocking titles and we have several good 2nd hand book shops.

Deathstalker, that's the most frustrating thing for me too. I don't usually go the to the book stores. Usually I'll see a book at Wal-Mart or some similar store and buy it there. But it is frustrating to see a book in a series you've never heard of before and then find out it's book 2 or 3 of a trilogy, or maybe book 5 of a series of 8. So I know what you mean.

Ok, I have to ask: Did you try your local public library system? Even if they do not have a book, they usually can get it via inter-library loan at no cost to the patron. Most libraries have put their catalogs on-line, i.e. you can search for books from any web browser. I have borrowed every SF book I wanted from the library. I could never afford to buy the hundreds of books that I have read over the years...
