I am a long time fan of your books. I remember reading This Can't Be Happening At McDonald Hall in the late 80's. I have this entire series, and still reread the series at least once every couple of years. Your newer books are easier to find. I Want To Go Home is available as an eBook ( I have both paper and e-Book). The original paperback versions of No Coins, Please, Who is Bugs Potter?, Bugs Potter: Live at Nickaninny, Our Man Weston, The Twinkie Squad occasionally come up on Amazon, but at $100 a book, it's way too much to spend. I'm sure you've changed publishers over the years, which can affect how books are sold. Is there any chance of getting your original publishers to re-issue the books? I'm a voracious reader, and have been reading your books for more than 40 years. They always make me laugh. It would be really nice to see these books re-issued. I'd buy them in both formats.

Hi, Sean,

Thanks for posting. It's great to hear from a loyalist!

The fact is, I've added a publisher (Harper Collins) but I'm still with Scholastic, and they've reissued my books fairly regularly both in print and as eBooks and even as audiobooks. They shouldn't be hard to find. In Canada the place to check is the bookseller, Chapters.Indigo.ca. And in the US, Scholastic's number is 1-800-724-6527. And some of my backlist titles now belong to the publisher Little Brown. (LittleBrown.com)

Thanks for your ongoing support for my work. -----Gordon Korman-----

Hi Gordon!

I fondly remember meeting you at what used to be called "Markham Place" in Thornhill in the early 80s.

You were gracious enough to sign all the copies I had of your books and you also gifted me with a not yet released copy of Bugs Potter Live At Nickaninny which was awesome! While you were signing the books, you had a candid chat with my dad, who drove me to meet you, and shook my hand when we said goodbye. Of course, I still have the books!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for such a great memory.

Good memories, Maurice. I lived 2 blocks from Markham Place!

I'm pleased to have contributed to what seems to be a pleasant memory for you. Thanks for sharing.
