Now *this* is real stuff!  I have experienced, in my own way, the very
same things.  My favorite example is from when I was writing my Essay
"The Nazarenes" (See website).  None of the source books on the
discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls were to be found.  I asked, like you
say, and within the week had the lot - including a spare to give to a
friend.  I've looked in the bookshops since, and none of them can be
found!

P.S.  I copy some of my posts to ti-l, so I see you are getting annoying
messages telling you you are not subscribed to it.  If you want to be, I
will subscribe you.  Otherwise edit the mail header before sending (if
you can).
