Just because no-one has mentioned it yet.
Your local library. You probably don't even have to go in, once you're account is set up you can check out books online.
Going into a library is like choosing a movie from Netflix. If you don't know what you want it's fine. But if you're after a specific book, big chances it's not there.
Example: I've read over 100 star Trek books, none of the libraries around me have any in the series, and I'm on a 3M people city.
That seems very odd to me. I've never been to a city library that can't get something they don't have. Obviously I'm biased by my own experiences.
I'm in Montréal (2-4M depending on how the library system is set up) and star wars has 1,099 hits. Video games, mangas, movies, tv shows, books illustrations, audiobooks, lego building guide ebooks, comics, etc. There might be some inflation in the figure for how some titles handle multi-lingual copies.
Karen Traviss is my favorite star wars author, followed by Timothy Zhan.
