viz. George Bellairs. Copyrights held (for some unclear reason) by three (? some publisher names seem to have changed.....) different online publishers. ATM they appear to be:
1. Ipso books
2. Mysterious Press
3. Endeavour [s]Press[/s] Media
4. Amazon itself (??)
None of these three/four is prepared to acknowledge the existence of the others: indeed going back to my previous post I have FOUR different (in order, not fully) lists if you go by order.*
*For the paranoid these are Goodreads, FF, Gadetection and "BooksinOrder"
Not at all helpful to the series collector: great email recently arrived.
( 4 weeks ago from Agora books - - WHO??) "here's a free ARC of the newest Inspector Littlejohn book."
Err...Oh Yeah? .... it's actually #42 and I've read many around it on both sides up to #53! I know they are republishers from an author who died in 1982, but that's not the point!
Oh well, I suppose you can't expect Microsoft to advertise the latest offerings from Apple . . . . . . .
