:)  I confess that I am a fan of Leslie Charteris and The Saint.  I spent
in the neighbourhood of 20 years attempting to complete my collection of all
the paperback novels of "The Saint."  I claimed success with Charter's first
publication of "The Saint Meets the Tiger" (a.k.a. "Meet the Tiger") in '80.
This was the first publication of Book 1 of the series which had been out of
print since 1929 when it was first published, 1 printing.  :)  I believe I
enjoyed the short stories best; they were not only entertaining, I actually
learned a great deal from them.  There are 37 books in the series, (although
I do not include the few pastiches which I consider most UN-Saintly.)  :)
How about "Max Carrados," by Ernest Bramah?  I'm still trying to find some
information on how to acquire novels of this first famous blind detective.
