I sympathise! When I read the series for the first time, it was still available in pb in bookstores but I remember walking from one end of town to the other searching for particular volumes. I seem to remember having to find the early ones in second hand stores, and in fact my volume 1 is from a different cover set than all the rest, which is also tiresome. This, of course, was in the days pre Amazon or ABE or other useful enterprises. Amazon.ca is, fortunately for me, one of the most efficient and wonderful institutions. I've ordered a book from them on a Saturday which arrived on Monday - and that was in the regular post category, not even priority! I'll keep my fingers crossed that your volume 2 arrives speedily!! (If I were not 7000 some-odd miles away, I'd lend you mine)
