Anne of Green Gables has been one of my favorite stories for as long as I can remember, ever since I saw the CBC movies as a wee one and received a set of the first three novels from someone I can't even remember.
A fortuitous visit to the library's Book Barn a few years ago led me to most of the rest of the series—in the same imprint (very important!)—but I was still missing one: the elusive #5!
Since then, I have searched. I have scoured used bookstores as well as sites like Paperback Swap, Amazon, and Half.com where it's next to impossible to ensure that the book I need is of the same imprint, size, and series as the rest of them. Thus, my collection has had a hole for the past 3 years (at least!).
And then a serendipitous trip to the new and pretty McKay's in Nashville led me to the missing piece of the puzzle, and $1.75 later, the collection is complete!
This series will get a re-read very soon! Anyone interested?
