So far, it's been going ok. I've already gotten the first volume of <I>Angelic Layer</I> and am now waiting for the second. A few days after getting <I>Angelic Layer</I>, I got the first volume of <I>Chobits</I>. Your comment about <I>Antique Bakery</I> is disappointing - I'll still try to get it, but it sounds like I might have to buy it if I want to read it.A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-62597737848895594752009-03-06T16:06:00.000-06:002009-03-06T16:06:00.000-06:00I've had quite a bit of luck getting manga through...I've had quite a bit of luck getting manga through ILL. Of course, it depends on the titles, as I've had no luck getting <I>Antique Bakery</I> but I was able to get all currently published <I>Fruits Basket</I> (and then I went out and bought them all on BookCloseouts.com) a few years ago when I first started reading the stuff. Newer titles are, of course, harder to get, but I was able to read up to the latest released volume on series like <I>The Wallflower</I>, <I>Ghost Hunt</I>, and <I>Chibi Vampire</I>. Some of those can be as hard to get as the latest Janet Evanovich novel!<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Kay Schlumpfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11485669602622076642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-23061057712783199602009-02-28T20:15:00.000-06:002009-02-28T20:15:00.000-06:00Thanks for the tip!Thanks for the tip!A Library Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06144279685884011943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2094562384038868734.post-91734784722414003892009-02-28T18:26:00.000-06:002009-02-28T18:26:00.000-06:00You might also try PaperbackSwap—volumes of the ol...You might also try PaperbackSwap—volumes of the older series show up there fairly often.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16651819093061825211noreply@blogger.com
