The hardest part of reading Hamish is finding the old books. My library now seems to have what I want, but the early ones were a problem. Had to go thru MELCat and even one thru ILL whatever that is to get Death of a Snob from Kansas, I think. Worth waiting for, some funny parts in there...

Was looking thru Amazon thinking I might buy some really old ones for myself and the library, and found that they are expensive in any condition.

They are timeless. So glad there's so many in the series. Hamish and Charlie Moon are my favorite somewhat simple but lovable characters, both surrounded by somewhat dimwits...

For anyone else who might be interested, here's a link for Hamish:

Oh, what's the most recent you've read? Maybe you're ahead of me.
