i've just emerged from an extended tour of the works of michael moorcock
(the two corum trilogies, the elric series, and the castle brass series), and 
i found them all quite enjoyable. the story of the 'champion eternal' that 
bridges across all the various series was one i was quite captivated by, and i 
especially liked the way that while any individual series dealt with one 
particular incarnation, fate would, at times (and in what seemed to be to be a 
very logical manner, at all times consistent with the 'laws' of that 
particular plane of the multiverse), throw a few of the incarnations from 
other series into the picture.

i'd like very much to read more sf with this feature (bug? :-)) ...
can anyone think of what other authors do this, and do it well?

*** random pet peeve ***

i don't claim to know the book purchasing habits of many people, but 
personally, if i'm going to read, say, smith's lensman series (an example of 
a series where *all* volumes are in print), i like to buy the whole thing, as 
opposed to buying it piece by piece. why, then, do bookstores rarely (in my 
experience) carry *all* the volumes of a given series? it's like selling 
single volumes page by page!
