Has there ever been a book that you just can't seem to get a copy of to read?

Lately I have wanted that new novel out by Colleen Shannon called Catspell. The one day that I saw it in Wal-Mart, I didn't have enough money on me to purchase it. I checked at the stores on my way to campus this week and even searched through inter-library loan, but it isn't in circulation yet. What I really need is to get to Borders. ninja

This isn't something that I'm currently trying to get my hands on, but I had a very hard time finding my copy of "Storm Over Skye," by Allan Campbell McLean. It's a kind of mystery that takes place on an Island called Skye. It's been out of print for quite some time, I couldn't find it in any library, and no bookstore had heard of it. Years after I'd first borrowed it from a friend, I found an Ex Libris copy on Ebay. I snatched it, and it was every bit as good as I remembered it. And well worth the wait.

In one week I have had two dreams about getting my hands on that novel and actually reading it. I can't remember have dreams about reading before.

Hmmmmm....Well, I do want to read Child Called It. I heard it's a really good but sad story. But my mom wouldn't let me read it for summer reading xp She said it was too sad.

I can never seem to find the fifth book in the spiderwick cronicls, I have read the other four and just can't find the last one. That is so anoying. I did, however, find two books that I have been looking for forever: Van Nostrands Scientific Encyclopedia (a huge book from 193 cool and Physical Geology, third edition ( an old collage text book from 1932). Sence both are long out of print there arn't many floating around so I was realy suprised when I found them in a GoodWill.

I actually have an easier time finding Robert Jordan's books..it's harder for me to keep track of which ones I do and don't have...

As for C.S. Lewis...at first I had that problem, but once the movie came out, they released the 7 volume collection in one book, the same way they did with LotR, so I was able to buy it that way. Much easier than keeping track of 7 small books.
