Want some titles to look for?  I can provide most the ISBN #s, as well.
You're likely able to find at least some of them through any good second-
hand bookstore.  I scoured hundreds of them to fill the gaps in my own
collection, but could have duplicated many single titles dozens of times.
 PP> As for Mr. Bramah, I can't report that I've ever heard of the man or
 PP> his writings.
Ernest Bramah wrote of 2 characters: Kai-Lung, an itinerant Chinese story-
teller, with fascinating word-pictures to weave; Max Carrados, a detective,
blind from birth, who used all his senses to solve difficult mysteries.
These works date from near the turn of the century.

:)  Well, it's not as tough as it used to be ... but that old story about
plugging into trees is nothing but a myth.  However, with these new multi-
media machines, sometimes we have to hook up those little exercise wheels
in tandem and feed the gophers coffee to get them running fast enough to
provide the necessary juice to run for a couple hours with clean power. :)
Honest though, I've been running the oldest and most long-lived BBS in the
Yukon, in operation since '86: NetWork North; and we're in the nodelist as
1:3409/2.  Unfortunately, the Internet has left the BBS scene up here just
a bit slow (I'm trying to take a 'positive' outlook) these days.  :(
