One set of books that I would love to see is Munn's Merlin's Godson series. It's 3 books in all (King of the World's Edge(1939/1966), The Ship from Atlantis (1967) and Merlin's Ring (1974), although the first two books were collected in an omnibus volume, Merlin's Godson in 1976 following the success of Merlin's Ring. A follow up novel was started but never finished.
I've got Merlin's Ring and Merlin's Godson in paper, though it's been a long while since I read it. To a great extent, I suspect this is the classic orphaned work. Munn died in 1981 and if he was married or had kids, I haven't seen any reference to it. I do have to wonder a bit about German copyright laws. I see a lot of books that are available in German but no where else.
