This bibliography is something of a mess, in as much as it represents Tidy,man's publishing history, there's no uniformity. American books sometimes precede the British, sometimes not, some books were not even published in both countries. Some titles had hardback first editions with dust jackets, other titles were paperback originals, some are film tie ins. The books are not rare and most can be obtained very reasonably, obviously hardcover books in fine dust jackets cost considerably more than the softcover firsts. Signed copies are not unknown, we've handled several, albeit some years ago.
