AArgh!!
Can you tell me why the Multnomah County Library doesn’t have any copies of “Green” available for holds?
I love the library (son and brother of librarians) and could not afford to support my reading jones without it. Sorry, I wish I could buy it, but I am on a limited retirement income. I loved “Mainspring” and “Escapement”.
While it is one of the great public libraries in the country, it still needs a little pushing. Please harass the library.
Good Luck with “Green”. One way or another, I will read it.

Thanks, Rick. Green should be in soon, it’s only been released this month!
