I wouldn't say huge (although if I still owned every book
I've ever bought that WOULD be huge) even though I have more
than I can comfortably store, it's just that it's very
heavily dominated by HB/noir books (these days) & I'm
forever picking up cheap & nasty old pb's that keep
turning out to be forgotten or neglected masterpieces but I
often pick them up because of the following characteristics
(1) it's got yellowing pages (2) a very cheap original cover
price & most importantly, (3) a cover with artwork that
features gals, gats 'n' gangsters. (That's why I picked up
the Box book, as well as having a vague idea that "Box" was a
pseudonym for someone famous).

Um, I don't think so. What's a McGuffin list?
