I don't think you can get those novels back. I had the same problem you had, when I moved... I wanted to keep all of my author's novels, but due to inventory restrictions I was forced to part with most of the novels he had written since he started writing. So I just kept most of the masterpieces he wrote. It would've also been grand if the writer's household still recieved a "royalties check" after his death because he was making a considerable amount of currency, lol.
