Dear Booksharian Friends,Please, if anyone took 10, Royal Service, may I proof it?
I’m mailing books for scanners to scan and keep later today. Let me know if
you are willing to scan any of the following and I’ll get them out to you in
today’s mail. No strings, just hoping to get more books into willing
scanners’ hands.
1, 2, 5, 8, 12, 14, and 16 are on their way.
I believe I’ve lost one of the lists resulting in changed numbers but the
following are the books still available.
And, I miswrote the title of 16 which should have read, Alan Mendelsohn,
the Boy From Mars.

pages, a suspense story set on a passenger train, one of my y kinds of
mysteries, these are set in Russia, The cop is observant, intuitive, Ironic,
fights not only wrongdoers but the corrupt state apparatus as well. It’s not
that I’m ultra politically entrenched here, but I love reading these books

the other side of the world where I’ll never go. Of course, I still like
reading about Ireland best!
