Sorry.
I never heard of the 'Retief' series till just now.
And then I learned to dislike series books . . .

A couple of months ago now I unloaded the last series
I used to own . . . but I have irritating memories of
having to wait for the next book to come out . . .

David Weber has at least two series . . . Honor
Harrington is one of them . . . I like the writing.

At least the Bolo stories are 'stand alone'.

I think the reason I dislike series is because it feels
like there is so much I needed to know from before,
and that I HAVE to get the next one to see what happens
next.

But thanks for remembering.
Zim.

Re: “You got any of the 'Bolo' books?”
Probably. I had a lot of Keith Laumer's books (are you familiar with his Retief books?) even when I was in Sacramento. But they've been boxed up for 16 years! Those boxes, and the ones acquired from this lady in 2019 have yet to be unpacked.

The barn, right now, is on hold. My builder is using it as a storage unit and work area. Once he's done, I'll be lining its walls with shelving and unpacking my books. Then I'll build a book database telling me what I've got and where it is. Then I'll figure out what duplicates I've got. I haven't forgotten that you wanted them.
