I like the 3 part Mastermind. Read it as an adult. It discusses cloning and some dna manipulation. Keep adding the books to my Ebay cart and not checking out... I got 1 Mcdonald hall book thru the library and my kid loved it.

That's Wexford-Smythe to you, if I recall correctly.

On Internet archive does anyone know if "unavailable to borrow" means it's temporarily out (being "borrowed?" What does borrowed even mean in this context?) or if it's just not borrowable at all? Wondering if I should keep checking. I was able to enjoy a number of old friends but a bunch are unavailable.

I'm in the US, and I can't find No Coins Please for less than 40$. Crying

Some other books not mentioned yet: Don't Care High - for teens. Similar type to Semester in the Life of a Garbage Can and maybe Son of Interflux.
Also, Our Man Weston. It's an older book. Obscure. For middle schoolers. I only read it once as a kid. I remember that I liked it but I don't really remember the story.

Also, why are his older books out of print? It's weird.

Our Man Weston was reprinted as "Not This Time" or something like that. Available on archive.org. Big thanks to cuties mom for reminding me that it exists and tipping us off to find Korman classics there. I didn't know it was the same book until I opened it. Very classic Korman.
