Here is an 'observation/comment', put last as it is reflective of my personal reading taste.

The author Lee Child is a popular author of fiction books and has written about 16 books.  He is someone I read whenever I can find one of his books that I have not yet read.  I was surprised to find only two of his various titles on the shelf at West Regional.

I have no complaint on the number of copies of those two titles, I just would like to know why more of his titles are not available?
