Working in Part 5 this afternoon, I annotated the tail end of this portion of the Addenda. I imagine it goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway. If you have know anything about any of these authors that’s not said here and should be, please let me know.

   We probably haven’t found all of Dick Wordley’s early crime fiction, for example. The one just added came from a purchase on eBay I recently made. Nor do I know anything about Maurice Worth and the sleuth in all three of his books, Derek Haring. Tell me more, if you can.
