Barbara Pym
 
Has anyone read her? I am looking for her books and truly cannot find them any longer. I really enjoyed the 2 I have read and yearn for more.
Pym tends to draw me in to her scenes and I can smell the foods and coastal England air as I drift in and out of her wit.
She doesn't disappoint me, ever!
If anyone can put me on to her work, please let me know.

Well you may have tried all these but..... Amazon has quite a list, but maybe none you have not read ? I like Thriftbooks.com and buy from them fairly often, but again, maybe you've read the ones they have right now. You could check the used book store at the main library here (the one on 466 A at the county building with the big gold dome). The used book store IS OPEN again, from 1 to 4 p.m. I believe, you can always call the library and check. And finally, what about going on line and if none of your public library locations have what you want, they can get it on loan from another library. My public library is Sumter county system, but if you are in Marion or Lake, I am sure they belong to the lending system too ! Hope these leads can give you a start, as a dedicated reader of both fiction and non, I know what it's like to try to track down authors/books. Good luck !

The local library is a good place, as is Thriftbooks and Amazon. If you want electronic versions, try looking up zlibrary. I sent you a message.

You have tried the used book store, All Booked Up at Colony Shopping Center in the strip center by Sukura Japanese Steak House in front of Publix.

I am a resident of Sumter County; however, for $40 per year I joined the Lake County library system. I checked their catalogue and they have many books by Barbara Pym. The closest library is in Lady Lake near 466 and 441. If they don't have a book you want but another branch in their system does, they will obtain it for you. This may be a better and cheaper option for you. You could visit the library and check their catalogue to see if they have any of her books you haven't read.

Do you know specific titles of her books that you're looking for? I love searching out old books and would help.
