I've hit up 4Shared, my usual source for PDFs of sourcebooks. There's a few on there i'll harvest in the morning, thanks for the tip-off!

Other SP stuff i've been using has been limited to Mortal Engines and (shame) Vampire Hunter D. Well I suppose I could always rewatch Wild Wild West... *ducks*.
