Have you tried Amazon.com? I think the Myst novels are good enough to be worth owning. I own the first and third in the series, and will probably purchase the second book when I'm ready to re-read it again.

Yes, I had heard that, and I think it shows in the quality of their games. The Myst series is a refreshing oasis in a world of computer games that is continually getting more violent and over-sexed. Cyan's games prove that you don't have to include graphic violence or material for "mature audiences" to make a successful game.
