Let's hear it for interlibrary loan (whom I'm willing to forgive for screwing up on the Henry Wade mystery I requested) and for libraries which actually lend their books as opposed to secreting away in a special collection never to see the light of day again. Good show chaps!
I just picked up titles by Carol Carnac and C. St. John Sprigg from the library today so I'm in a thankful mood. One librarian always comments on the golden age mysteries I receive so perhaps I can make her into a convert...
I wish I could join you in your celebration. Every time I try to get my hands on a scarce book using interlibrary loan in Chicago I am met with closed doors and denials. I have been successful exactly once. You and Patrick have way too much luck. I need to move to Canada!
ReplyDeleteI have access to scarce books through interlibrary loan in Canada. You have cheaper book shipping rates and sellers who only ship within the United States. I guess one cancels the other ;)
