I have most of the non-Brother C books now, thanks to a friend who makes
regular trips to England and usually brings back a dozen books for me each
time. I think there was just *one* of the mysteries he couldn't find on this
trip. It's hard to tell because we were cobbling together a list from info
here (your list, I believe it was, and if so, I thank you again), the library
computer, and the books listed in the front of all the other books we had in
hand.
I haven't even started collecting the Pargeter historicals -- we decided to
leave those for the next expedition.

There's a collected stories volume (edited by Douglas Greene, if my memory is
correct). I just stumbled on the listing on one of the recent microfiches
and it seems to have a different title now, but I suspect the contents are
the same. My edition is titled 'The Collected Stories of Ngaio Marsh' but
the new edition takes the title from the essay about Alleyn. So there's one
I found (actually my husband spotted it for me) after I thought I had run
ut.

For some reason, I still haven't gotten into Crispin and Allingham.
Tried Allingham after the Peter D. adaptations on MYSTERY (nice to
see him getting to do something besides Doctor Who and Tristan), but it
didn't click.

Any recommendations? I still haven't tried Wentworth, and am only vaguely
aware of the others.
