I tend to read fairly unpopular literary fiction, not hot bestsellers or whatever, so I am confident that if I were in the USA or UK and could request such books from a local library there, I wouldn’t have to wait long to receive it. “Smaller collection” isn’t actually true if the library has access to ILL. And again, a limited loan period hardly matters if this is going to be a one-off reading experience.
