Well well well. You didn't really look there, did you, dahlin' dearest? =20=

;=3D}

I've already announced 7 and 8 quite a while ago here on NTLK (they =20
were part of my first batch of gifts of last Christmas =20
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=3Dnewtontalk&m=3D110407118303878&w=3D2
and =20
submitted them to UNNA (where they still rot under the name "X-Mas 2004 =20=

- 1 Mars-Stories.zip" in the submission queue =20
http://toronto.unna.org/cgi-bin/unna/list.cgi, alongside plenty other =20=

submissions of mine that I believe date back over 10 months now...) and =20=

then added 'em to the library when it was still up at Matt's place and =20=

later moved it to Marty's domain.
        Anyway, the whole 11 books are now there. 1-4 done by Bob Hicks =
(who =20
has done INCREDIBLE amounts of books for the Newton in the 90s! Does =20
anybody know what he's doing now? His generous work is what inspired me =20=

to do books myself), Vol. 5 by Gary Witscher, and the rest by yours =20
truly. I've provided several formats for most volumes, Bob only did =20
Classic. Gary's was a paperback, IIRC.

So, in any case, the whole thing is now available from =20
http://www.stillnewt.org/library/_Fiction/_Fantastic%20Literature/=20
Burroughs,%20Edgar%20Rice%20(1875-1950)/Mars-Stories . This stuff that =20=

started in 1912 is what generations of SciFi writers copied from (much =20=

like SciFi movies all copied from the 1930s Flash Gordon-films -- =20
compare this with the original Star Wars, e.g. the wipe-over =20
effects...). Enjoy!

Yer ole mate
