H E Todd book list

We hope to be able to prepare the text of many of the books and stories in an online form. Meanwhile, here is a list of most of the books and the stories they contained below.

Our thanks to David Schutte for helping us compile this list. Also, some details taken from Bookfinder (http://www.bookfinder.com/author/h-e-todd/), who have one of the most complete lists of available copies.  We have tried to be accurate about the dates and ASIN/ISBN numbers; I think the orignal dates for each book are correct but am less certain about other details.
