It's next to impossible to find any of her work, even here near Kitchener, Ontario where she and Ken were originally from! It's a shame. <br /><br />The biography on Ross MacDonald by Tom Nolan should properly be considered a biography of the two of them -- it had great info on their life together.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-32439459193778712372012-06-02T08:04:09.098-04:002012-06-02T08:04:09.098-04:00Oops, that's me, Juri, commenting unintentiona...Oops, that's me, Juri, commenting unintentionally under my wife's Google account! :)Jurihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021010310386744591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-88572386941742081712012-06-02T07:57:40.738-04:002012-06-02T07:57:40.738-04:00I didn't notice my contribution on the list:

I haven't seen a Highsmith or Bloch in used and secondhand bookstores out here. The American Centre Library might probably have some in their collection.Prashant C.

I don't find them at used book stores, and there are no electronic editions of any of her books.
