: A SCULLION!... I suppose I'd consider being a Somesuch. Acutally, what I'd really want to do at his house (besides meet the guy obviously), is to closet myself up with all the copies of his older books (supposing he has them), because I can't stand the thought that they exist, and that I can't obtain them (due to geographical and financial reasons). I've got a collection of about 30 but there's lots more. I know all that happiness is out there, and I can't get at it. **Frustration** I don't particularly want to build a collection because it's valuable - I just want to read the texts. To me they are like Douglas Adams books (although DA is no great literary talent) - real humorous and extremely enjoyable. The fact that Jack can weave words like a Blue Tit builds his nest, is just a very happy coincidence.

Donna, which books are missing then in your reading collection?
A lot is for sale on ebay , and at fixed prices at ABE
Depending on what you think is realistic it is not that difficult to get them all.
Shipping one big box of second hand paperbacks is not that expensive . other ideas would be to take part in the trading list of one of the 'irregulars' on this board.
seriously: what titles are missing. I am mostly curious what makes that list difficult to find.
