NavGHi, I'm trying to find the box set of the Bruno and Boots series. I'm located in Vancouver BC. It seems to be sold out everywhere. Does anyone know if they'll be printed soon or any sources to procure? Love the books when I was a kid and now I'm buying for my own . Thanks in advance.

Thanks for posting and for your loyalty to Bruno & Boots!
The box set may be hard to find, but the individual books are still rolling around out there. You might try Scholastic Canada, the original publisher: 1-800-268-3860, or the Canadian bookseller chapters.indigo.ca
It's hard to believe, but the 50th anniversary of THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING AT MACDONALD HALL is coming up in a couple of years, and they may be reissued then.
And it's possible someone on this website will see your inquiry and come up with a plan.
Happy hunting! -----Gordon Korman-----

Thanks for taking the time to respond personally! It's a pleasure to correspond.
I remember discovering the Bruno & Boots series about the time I was 10 years old (I'm 46 now) and I was soon reading every book of yours that I could get my hands on. Other than the above series, I really enjoyed Don't Care High and I Want to Go Home (among others).
Some good news on the procurement front - I was able to locate the boxed set (new) on Ebay and have ordered some other ones from Indigo.
My two kids are now 10 and 8 years old and both are bookworms. I'm quite pleased to be able to add these to our library. It's really cool to see your kids enjoy the same books you did when you were a kid.
Feel free to connect by email if you find yourself in Vancouver - drinks on me!
Best,
