Further Information The above bibliography only includes the English and American books, they are listed in order of title appearance, in some cases this may have been the Australian edition. As can be seen, the history is a little messy with priority swapping, alternative titles, all listed. and some titles not seeing dual country release. Collectors who are seeking 1st editions is dust jacket are in for something of a slog if they seek to acquire a full set. Whilst they do not command huge prices some are notoriously difficult to obtain in collectable condition |
