I found this in the Rara-Avis archives, from May 1997:

Hello all,

I've gotten many requests for a printout of the Black lizard books, so, in order to keep my mailing costs down, I'm typing out the list for everyone. There are 62 paperbacks, three oversize
(tradesize) paperbacks and 5 Hardcovers. The first, The Straight Man by Kent Nelson, was printed in 1978. The rest were published starting six years later in 1984. On the list, I'm going to name the 13 titles I currently have for sale if anyone is interested. I hope this doesn't offend anyone, but my time is also money. Postage will be $3.00. Enjoy the list.
