| ppint. 29th Nov 2021 | david: thank-you - & ''you're welcome''. - yr hmbl srppnt. can provide some of the contents' listings from another bibliographic source (or two), but has little or no direct personal knowledge in this area - or, for that intangible, diaphanous-appearing ectoplasmic matter, of, nor in, the armada ghost books' contents, q.v. - but can always go bug tony (up to a reasonable limit) for sight of any he currently has in stock of these series in the old pier bookshop - it's how i got much of the pan books of horror series listing details together for bookcat. . . - ''oh, hi, tony!''. . . | |
