A few notes:In any case available we are attempting to collect complete sets in hard cover. For instance, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was on the list, we purchased the entire set. So, we would prefer the whole set of Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). As for the one Ludlum book, we are missing only that one from the trilogy. At least we are half way there....
