Millie Alger asked Gail Carriger:

This question contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Gail Carriger All my books are available in paperback print editions, except the 4 short stories. Bookstores (and libraries) can order them from Ingram or Createspace by special request. If what your library doesn't have is my novellas (Romancing the Inventor, Poison or Protect) that's because, as a rule, most libraries cannot or will not stock independently produced books. This is library policy, not ability. You can ask them to explain why to you, as each library is different.

If you are referring to my 4 short stories, they usually end up in anthologies at least once a year or so. Those anthologies may end up in libraries, and certainly can be ordered by libraries. There is no way to produce individual short stories as books, that would be illogical and prohibitively expensive because of length. For this reason, all mine are available as pdfs for $0.99 which can be printed out from any computer. If I ever write more, I might do a print collection. But that seems unlikely. Or if relevant to a novella, I may bundle one short in with that novella for print, just because I can. I do give away my shorts, print books, and audible codes regularly to my newsletter subscribers so, if nothing else, you can keep a look out and enter for those giveaways. Then if you win the book, donate to your local library. Ta da! http://gailcarriger.com/chirrup
