Knowing full well my obsessive, completist bent when it comes to authors of
this type, Doug, I suspect I'll be a more informed Ritchie reader before
much longer (certainly more so than my copy of A NEW LEAF and a few AH pbs
and Manhunt magazines currently qualifies me to be) and prepared to work on
a collection.
Let me get back to you in a couple years -- though, ahem, if someone wants
to beat me to the punch, my feelings won't be hurt and I even promise to buy
a copy...
