Thank you, Jean
 Yes, that's what I as looking for; susan Lumpkin said Larry is willing to
scan the series if he can find the books cheaply enough; I'd  love to proof
them. I don't remember who requested then. It was a long time ago, but they
sounded like very readable and enjoyable books and I think they'll be good
additions to the collection  for thos who like  historical fiction
