Well, I initially was referring to novels only, but since Bayne posted what else he has, I'll add to my list  - Jeff Wayne 2-disk set - Jeff Wayne PC Game - 1953 movie on VHS - Cassette of Orson Welles' 1938 broadcast I'm also waiting to hear from my local record store, they said they may have an LP version kicking around. David, if Horsell's list would be impressive, imagine Charles' list... The forum may hold one, but both?  Take Care, Dan M |

Right, here is my "abreviated" version
4 big boxes of JW stuff, 2 shelfs of other Wells books (most of which I have not read yet), one shelf of WOTW books, including a couple of 1898 first's. My signed HG greeting card is framed and downstairs in the livingroom, along with my JW "Gold" presentation disc.
Sorry if you were expecting a huge list from me, but there is too much, plus my missus is moaning commenting on the space I need for when all the other WOTW stuff comes out next year.
"whats that dear, yes I still think that a nice huge display cabinet would be better in that corner than your wardrobe"

I'm sure Charles once said he'd seen HG's original handwritten manuscript for the novel.
