The Library has failed me so off to chapters I go. Well okay I will be going tomorrow. As to the Sharpe novels, I have them all. Alas they are in storage in Alaska, but I have them all. I also looked for the Patrick O'Brian novels but they only had one and it was the last so those will be on my list to get after the Hornblower books.
