Listed below is my current
stock in this subject, sorted in alphabetical
order, by author. Please note that it is
difficult to categorize some titles, which
overlap different subjects; in these cases, the
easiest procedure would be use the search box,
which covers my entire stock. However, if
searching for a particular title on this page
only, the simplest method is to use "Control-F"
to bring up the "Find" dialogue on screen. I
have described the books as accurately as
possible but will of course accept returns if a
particular item is inadvertently not as
described.
