I've decided to link to the cartoon "Day by Day" because it's the funniest cartoon that you won't find in the DinoMedia.

The Classics Club - Looking for list of titles

Some years ago, I subscribed to an "on approval" book club called The Classics Club, originally published by Walter J. Black in the 1940s.

I've got over thirty of the titles, and have found a number of others, but have never been able to locate a complete list of titles for this series.

I AM SEEKING THIS INFORMATION AND WOULD LIKE TO COMPLETE THIS COLLECTION AS LONG AS THE NUMBER OF VOLUMES IS REASONABLY FINITE.

Alas, Walter J. Black went out of business in the 1980s.

Here is the list of titles and authors that I either have or have confirmed are in the series:

This might be where I put up a link to a book list.


DISCLAIMER: http://hotelsierra.blogspot.com

exists only as a collected series of bytes that have been laid down on a rapidly spinning platter of iron oxide-coated aluminum.

Any resemblance to actual hotels,

is purely coincidental.

Although you're obviously checking it out,
checking in at HotelSierra is not permitted.
There is no room service, no minibar, no ashtrays or towels to take home as "souvenirs".

HotelSierra items just might be available on CafePress in the future,
but there will be NO ashtrays or towels offered. Period.
