: : The first item I look for on the list is not there! The mystery that I'd sought for so long, "Murders for Sale", was reprinted as "Sneeze on Sunday".

: By the rules of the list only one of the titles should appear. Since MURDERS FOR SALE is on the list, SNEEZE ON SUNDAY, which is a reprint, need not appear. : This should be true for ISLAND OF THE LOST (Sword in Sheath) and DAYBREAK 2250-AD (STAR MAN'S SON 2250-AD)

: I'll try to look the list over for you.

Paul Here-The other title changes that I can recall right off the top of my head at The Last Planet which reprints Star Rangers and Crosstime Agent which reprints Quest Crosstime and Grey Magic is a reprint of Steel Magic. I guess one could make a case for the Omnibus editions Annals Of The Witch World and Chronicles Of The Witch World and The Magic Books as reprinting of stories under different titles, but that is pushing the envelope in my opinion. Hope this helps. Andre once told me that Sneeze On Sunday was changed to the highly inappropriate "Murders For Sale " by the publisher who was of the opinion that for any mystery to sell, it had to either have "Murder" or "Case" somewhere in the title. When she had it reprinted, she had enough clout to make the title correction. The other title changes may also be publisher-generated, but I am not sure. --Later--Paul
