International Polygonics Ltd lists the sequence in a slightly different order ... I don't know if they are (or have) publishing all the titles. I have listed all known alternate titles for all volumes that have one. There is the Saint Omnibus #1 and #2, as well; however, I have seen neither one, unfortunately; somehow, though, I suspect they are simply collections of stories from the original books. Saint books written by Leslie Charteris include (there may be more, but I have little interest in them): The Saint on T.V., The Saint Returns, The Saint and the Fiction makers, The Saint Abroad, The Saint's Choice, The Saint in Pursuit, The Saint and the People Importers, Catch the Saint, The Saint and the Hapsburg Necklace, Send for the Saint, The Saint in Trouble, The Saint and the Templar Treasure, Count on the Saint, Salvage for the Saint, The Fantastic Saint. Happy hunting! :) PP> Just out of curiosity, how large is your "user base?" Yes, the PP> Internet is having its affect on everyone.

BROTHER CADFAEL'S PENANCE FR> was the last book she had written before she died. Fred, I have a paperback copy of the 20th chronicle published in Canada in 1995 but it makes no reference to Ellis Peters' death. I had hoped she would have been able to carry through the history until Henry II's ascension to the throne in 1154 but I suppose we will have to live with its end.

I was totally fascinated by the Hot Zone. Started reading everything I could on ebola...seems half the nation did as well with all the similar type boooks and movies that followed. Now, whenever I see the city of Reston mentioned, I kind of get the chills. I also washed my hands a lot more after reading those kinds of books My husband spotted Level 4 and he's now reading it so I had to switch over to another thriller . Started Michael Palmer's "Critical Judgment"...lady doctor moves to small town hospital..big factory which runs the town may be causing industrial pollution...people mysteriously dying..I'm sticking with it but seems like quite a few other medical thrillers I've read in the past few years. Hope something different occurs to make this a bit more original. <<< Debbie >>> --- GEcho 1.00 * Origin: chocolate, Chocolate, CHOCOLATE: Roch, NY (1:2613/321.1) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 244 MYSTERY Ref: DBZ00012 Date: 07/29/96 From: DEBBIE SHANKER Time: 07:20am \/To: HELEN FLEISCHER (Read 3 times) Subj: Summer reading Helen, Thanks a bunch for the article on the Denzel carousel at Glen Echo Park.

I just love our local FOTL shop. It's like having HF> a full time sale whenever you want to stop by, and it's in a mall. Okay, now I'm jealous! Our FoTL is only open on the third weekend of the month, Friday & Saturday, from 9-5. Their next sale they are offering 2-for-1. To me, their prices are unbelievably low to begin with, so I can't imagine the purpose of this, but I certainly won't argue. I don't know if it will only be certain books, or if it applies to all. It doesn't matter. I'll be there anyway. :) HF> I found a fairly rare Charlotte MacLeod there, Cirak's Daughter. I'd HF> read it before, at the library, but I just couldn't pass it up, not for HF> 50 cents! I know what you mean. I also found a Charlotte McCleod this last visit, though I doubt it's rare. It's title is The Convivial Codfish. I think I've only read two of hers in the past, but I seem to remember liking them. I bought one book there strictly because its title contained my last name. It is called "The Vines Of Ferrara". For some reason, it was priced higher than most of their books... a whopping $1. But, I gave in to the impulse. It was an interesting read, but nothing to rave about. Still, it felt good to be able to "splurge". I have been so bogged down financially (unexpected medical bills), and finding the bargains at FoTL is a way to lift my spirits without having to suffer for indulging little whims. HF> And I found some other treasures like Andrew Garve there. HF> Currently nearing the end of A Place For Murder by Emma Lathen. I'm HF> playing catch up on that series and I've grown quite fond of it. More authors I've never heard of. Oh how the list grows!
