September 11, 201113 yr That actually happened to me. Centuries ago when I was deep into LotR, my local library didn't have the Silmarillion. They 'borrowed' it from another library by request.
September 11, 201113 yr What about buying used from the Amazon market place or something similar? It's nice to support local bookshops when you can, but that's not always possible or practical. Not sure what country you're all in but in the UK I always get my books from Playtrade (like the Amazon Marketplace) and it's so cheap. I got a copy of Shadowmarch, the first book of Tad Williams' latest series, for about £1.80, included postage.
