I work in a bookstore also, so I hear plenty of complaints from customers when they find that X-book in X-series is out of print, but the others aren't. I, myself, as a reader would not pick up a book that's part of a series, without getting the first one first, no matter how intriguing I think the blurb is, or the cover.
It's the complaints that engender, well, the complaints <wry g>. I do like bookstore work; I love putting people together with books that I think they'll like. Sometimes it's easy to hit 100%; sometimes it's a long, slow process to hit 80%.
Which store?
Umm, and thank you for the kind words about my novels. DAW is good about keeping a series in print until the last book is out, which is one of the reasons I love them. One of many.
