On another note, the books with stars beside them mean that I have these books myself. If there is any specific information you would like to know about them, just e-mail me. As well, if you are interested in me obtaining (or attempting to!!) any of these books for you, again, e-mail me and I'll see what I can do!! Until then..........
OH YEAH!! The most important thing!!
I forgot to mention where I obtained all this info from!!
I don't want to take any of the
credit for this, cos basically, I don't deserve it! *L* (How's that for
humble? =)) Now I don't want you to think that I just copied off
of Andrew because I'm lazy,
I would have found out the information
myself, but living in Canada as I do, it is nearly impossible, not to mention
very expensive, to obtain all of the books. I have to rely on info
supplied to me by people who have access to the information, mainly people
from England!! This information was obtained from a section of the "unofficial"
Oasis
FAQ which was compiled by the ever-generous Andrew
Turner. Thanx again Andrew, for everything you do!
