I stumbled upon Repairman Jack recently and decided to give the series a try. I was amazed to find out that not only can I not find them, but I can't find anything by FPW at all at the local bookstores.
I finally found one a few days ago, Harbinger. I hated to get it because I haven't read any of the books before it, but I got it anyway. It was great, but now I'm hungering for more and can't find it.
What's up with the lack of Wilson's stuff out there? Was he blackballed from the industry or something?

Nevermind, I read the faq.

Here in Sunny England, it's impossible to find anything by FPW. Definitely worth persevering in the search though, although these days I let my fingers do the hunting via the internet.

Alibris.com has a LOT of oldie goldies.

You can always hunt eBay also, especially if you're looking for rare editions.

But seriously texasx96, I've found most of my Wilson collection in the used book store. Second place comes to the internet. Happy hunting!

It's frustrating, isn't it, not being able to get your FPW fix at the local bookstore. I live in the heart of NYC and I still can't find FPW's books.
Like Ken (KRW), I found most of my Wilson collection on the internet, through amazon.com used books and others. I've got a nice collection, too.
So it's a treasure hunt, but what a pot of gold awaits you in your search for F. Paul Wilson's books.

Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant.

Most stores I've been in have at least 2 or 3 titles. I even saw Infernal in a supermarket. I make sure my own store always has a copy of The Keep and the entire RJ series.
