Hi Pat,
Thanks for your kind comment.
I decided to post as zip files because there's 23,280 items and just filling the
space with all these just makes for a very cluttered newsgroup.
I also realize the lack a par files maybe problematic. Like I said, first time
using the program. Maybe I'll try to post again with pars.
Thats also the reason for your confusion.
There are two XNovels 1, XNovels 1 !XNovels1.7z and XNovels 1 !XNovels2.7z
This is because I foolishly set the $1 file number parameter in PowerPost and
then just posted the first file to see if it worked, followed later by the other
three.
The books are listed alphabetically by book number, BEE-387 or PH-423, followed
by Title and Author. The jpg are book cover and rear cover when available.
Its not perfect either, there maybe several repeated books and also covers
without text and text without covers, but only a few of these overall.
As for some idiot's preoccupation with copyright, I sure that the 1978 classic
LL-097 Young Desires - Steaming Teen Pussies by Author Unknown is on everyone's
watchlist for infringment.
Cheers,
