Or call (toll free) The Mystery Book Shop at 888-434-3226, in the US, outside 
GA ... if Mark is at work.  He'll look it up in the automated Books In Print, 
and order it if anyone wants.  On major authors like her, we often have "new" 
books in stock even if they went OP a couple years ago.  That's not counting 
the Search Service that should be in operation as of Jan 2.
In fairness, besides the local library and ourselves, if anyone is in a 
metropolitan area, they should check the yellow pages AND white pages for 
bookstores that have MYSTERY in the name, or something similar, e.g., "CRIME 
TIME" might be a specialty store.
The reason for checking the White Pages as well is that many large cities are 
now broken up into zones.  The stores can't afford yellow page listings in 
all them but may be in the other zones' White Pages.  Atlanta, for instance, 
has a local call zone larger than most states and 15 zones.  DC-area is much 
smaller but a person in "Northern VA" wouldn't find a store on the Maryland 
side of the area just by looking in their own Yellow Pages.
