To me it is fun to look for them. But I am glad many out of print novels are now becoming available in e-book format so that more people can enjoy them.

Hopefully, it'll be reprinted at some point. I'm really glad you reviewed this, Tracy, as I think I'd like it very much. I'll have to see if my library has a copy of one of these mysteries.
