Thanks.  I've managed to collect all but 2 of Upfield's books.  He's a
real favorite.  If you need a complete list of his works, let me know.
I don't say I've read them all, because I have one still set aside on my
to-read shelf.  Somehow I hate the idea that when I've read it, there
are no more.  That is unless I find those two very elusive early ones.
The first one I read was Mr.  Jelly's Business, when a librarian
recommended Upfield to me. Golly, that has to be over 12 years ago!
I've never read Nevil Shute. Is he as good as Upfield?
